Milk Security Bill
The new Milk Security Bill, H.B.
1969, was given a final review and
reported out of the House Com
mittee on Agriculture and Rural
Affairs this week.
Several admendments were
added to the new bill, including a
provision that the Pa. Milk
Marketing Board may place a
dealer on a cash on delivery
payment basis if needed and
another setting up penalties for
violators of regulations.
One of the chief features of the
new bill is a three-tier system of
Moves More Cows
In Less Time!
Here’s the toughest, most
durable, efficient and adap
table herringbone stall
money can buy. The new
“Mega 45” represents
Westfalia’s ongoing
dedication to produce the
highest quality most
technologically advanced
dairy equipment available.
The “Mega 45” is it.
One look at the “Mega 45”
and you’ll know it’s built to
last. Here’s why;
It’s made of 2 3/8” O D galvan
ized structural pipe, not tubing
like so many others
Modular components are pre
welded rather than bolted or
clamped to be virtually main
tenance free
One piece feeder sections are
made of seamless, boltless stain
less steel Stainless steel feed
bowls assure fast feeding clean
up
Multiple strength structural pipe
arches are welded into a rigid
truss that will bold any cow and
support all equipment

.contributions to the security fund
by dealers, including a 75 percent
bond, a 30 percent bond plus two
cents a hundredweight and a
trusteeship plan for new dealers
until they can be placed in one of
the other categories. Also, each
dealer will essentially have his
own fund to provide protection for
producers.
The new bill now goes to the
House Rules Committee. It is self
sustaining and does not require
any budget consideration, and
thus, should be moved promptly
cm to the House calendar for con
sideration.
Milk Marketing Board
A federal judge this week issued
a temporary restraining order
blocking the Pa. Milk Marketing
Board’s suspension of minimum
price levels for lowfat and skim
milk.

said he breeds his cows for in
creased production. Butterfat is an
important consideration, as well as
breeding for udders and legs. He
feeds only the top forages he can
and prefers the method of feeding
hay on grain. Culling is done as a
management practice and to
promote the growth of the stronger
heifers.
While this philosophy presents
some guidelines, Melvin said he
constantly looks for ways to im
prove his herd and his farm.
Through the tools available to him,
he said he has found ways to stay
above the economic situation.
“The economic situation makes
us pull our ends in more,” Melvin
said. He added that it also makes
one appreciate what he has around
him and the help that is available.
