Preserving family farm is key issue at Grange Mtg. (Continued from Page Al) corporate poultry factories unless he is willing to “put a pencil” to his own operation to insure profitability. Kreb’s advice to producers was to join with farming organizations in finding methods to curb outside investment and low-cost govern ment financing catering to a few individuals or companies. Following Dr. Krebs, Master sonville egg producer and Master Farmer Claude Hess showed the group that the “sharpest pencil” available to farmers is computer technology. “How can you afford not to use a computer, when your competitors and suppliers are using them?”, Hess challenged, adding that prompt financial accounting is central to any business. Hess then ticked off a wide variety of tasks easily ac complished by computers in cluding some key ratios such as debt to income, assets per dollar of debt and sales per dollar of assets. The Manheim-area egg producer gave his guidelines for getting started with computers. “First, list all the tasks you think a computer may be able to help you do,” he said, “then list your list in order of diminishing im portance. And finally, check your sources of software relative to your requirements. “I would be lost without a computer today,” Hess concluded. Next on the list of speakers was Dr. Robert Eckroade of the University of Pennsylvania’s New Bolton Center, who spoke on the Center’s research in the area of avian influenza.

Eckroade then listed numerous potential vims carriers that need to be controlled around the poultry facility. Heading the list as the worst offenders of all are people themselves, Eckroade observed.
