NEDCO sells bonds for $6.2 million SYRACUSE, N.Y. - Low interest industrial revenue bonds for sale by the Northeast Dairy Cooperative Federation (NEDCO) to finance the purchase of the Glen & Mohawk fluid bottling plant in Fultonville, N.Y., have been sold for $6.2 million to Merrill Lynch, according to NEDCO President Edward McNamara. NEDCO, which has been negotiating for a suitable buyer for the bonds will now save well over $lOO,OOO a year in much lower interest rates, he said. The sale has been financed via high-interest interim financing supplied by Irving Trust Company of New York. NEDCO was issued the bonds by the Fulton Montgomery County Industrial Revenue Agency, which approves this concept of low interest financing for area firms if they qualify. McNamara pointed out that the purchase of the Fultonville milk bottling facility in June 1983 has been a good investment for NEDCO. Although intense competition has temporarily lowered the plant’s profits, we do see a tur naround possibly as early as this fall, which should considerably improve the profitability at Fultonville, he said.

FORAGE WAGONS INES Lancaster Famine, Saturday, Jana 30,1M4—A27 Dairy workshop July 14 “The success of a dairy farmer is greatly influenced by the strength and longevity of his cattle,” Haenlein says. “Whether the cows in a herd last an average five, six or eight years translates quickly into overhead costs in volved in raising calves to fill in for cows that must be replaced. Selecting those replacement calves is another crucial economic decision. Which ones will be worth two years of care with no production returns? The farmer must base such decisions on ex perience and knowledge of the strengths and weaknesses of his different calves." The skills to do this are gained through years of working with cattle, training in schools, 4-H and FFA projects, breed association and extension programs, including workshops such as this one, the specialist says. There is no fee to participate, but bring a bag lunch. Also bring a covered dish if you plan to stay for supper. For further details, call the Buskers at 398-4764 or Haenlein at 451-1333 or 451-2523.
