calling for a portion of the federal
government 15 cent assesment on
milk production be directed
toward the creation ot a Penn
sylvania milk marketing program
According to the plan, dairy
farmers could approve 10 cents of
their deduction to be set aside for
promotion and nutrition education
programs through existing dairy
council activities in Pennsylvania.
The program would be conducted
according to national dairy
promotion program guidelines
This program will complement
existing federal order promotion
programs.

constant, chilling rain which
dampened the county Wednesday,
dairy farmers poured out in
numbers to attend the 1984 Ex
clusive 111 and 329th Garden Spot
Sale held at the Guernsey Pavilion
in Lancaster.
Although chilly outside, the
Guernsey Pavilion was warmed by
the over 100 quality Holstein
calves, cows and bulls consigned to
the sale. Cattle from New York,
Michigan, Virginia, Illinois, New
Jersey, Ohio, Indiana and Penn

provisions of the Federal Dairy
and Tobacco Adjustment Act of
1983 However, creation of the
state milk marketing program
would allow 10 cents of each
deduction “to be targeted strictly
for promotion of dairy products
produced in Pennsylvania,"
Hallowell added
The Secretary emphasized that
participation in the program is on
a voluntary basis and that
dairymen will be notified by mail
in the near future to seek the
support of those not already
contributing to a federal order
promotion program
The program will be ad
ministered by an advisory board
comprised of participating
dairymen and be chaired by the
Secretary of Agriculture.
