Larvadex intervention
DOVER, Del. The Delaware
Department of Agriculture has
asked the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture and the state’s
congressional delegation to in
tervene in the Environmental
Protection Agency’s (EPA) recent
decision to postpone the
registration of Larvadex, a feed
through insecticide used for
control of flies in poultry houses.
Robert C. Berry, Director of
Production and Promotion,
Delaware Department of
Agriculture, says the EPA’s
tuning is unfortunate because
farmers in New Castle County and
in avian influenza affected areas of
Pennsylvania, Maryland and
Virginia had been using Larvadex
to help stop the spread of the
disease.
‘Ever since the USDA deter
mined flies were potential earners
of avian influenza, farmers in New
Castle County were able to use
Larvadex under a special exemp
tion pending its final approval by
the EPA. Now, not only has our
exemption been lifted, it looks as
though the larvicides registration
has been seriously delayed,” said
Berry.
‘We’ve been told the next 10
weeks are critical in controlling
avian flu. If we can keep the

disease from rearing its ugly head
that long, we should have it pretty
well licked. Unfortunately, we’ve
just lost a valuable tool in our fight
just when fly populations are at
their worst.”
The EPA withdrew the exemp
tion from the 4 states after “a
rereview of a teratology study
conducted on rabbits showed
evidence of fetotoxic effects
(adverse effects to fetuses) at the
lowest dose tested,” according to a
telegram sent to the Delaware
Department of Agriculture.
As a result, the EPA asked Ciba-
Geigy, the makers of Larvadex to
conduct new rabbit fetal toxicity
tests.
Ciba-Geigy countered the study
will be a repeat of the study
reviewed and accepted by the
agency almost two years ago.
Donald J. Lynch, Delaware
Agriculture Secretary has sent a
letter to U.S. Agriculture
Secretary John Block, asking him
to consider the implications of the
special exemption withdrawal.
Similar letters have also been sent
to Delaware’s Congressional
delegation asking for support in
getting the EPA to reconsider its
move.

NEDCO projects sound fiscal picture
SYRACUSE, N.Y. - A sound
financial picture greeted delegates
of the Northeast Dairy Cooperative
Federation (NEDCO) at a meeting
of the House of Delegates on June
27 at the Hotel Syracuse.
"We presented our delegates
with a better than balanced
budget,” Said NEDCO President
Edward McNamara. “It took a lot
of hours and days by our Budget
Committee to accomplish this, but
it was accomplished.”
The co-op executive explained
that large cuts in budget will come
from NEDCO’s three manufac-

McNamara said that losses

the profitability of NEDCO’s Fluid

decisions will produce a stronger

more efficiently in the future.”
NEDCO executives also reported
to delegates the co-ops’ highest
equity position ever. “NEDCO has
come from a minus equity of
$128,000 in 1975 to nearly $7 million
this year,” McNamara said.
McNamara had only praise for
his budget committee,
management and staff for their
dedicated effort to present NEDCO
delegates and members a break
even budget.
“It was the decision of the
delegate body to strengthen
NEDCO operations and equity," he
said. “I believe our people
responded to this challenge in a
professional fashion, presenting
NEDCO with a strong and positive
financial future for its 3,000 local
cooperative members,” Mc-
Namara said.
