In the initial focus groups it was also found that most people have a serious lack of knowledge about what whole, low-fat, and skim milk are. The board also viewed several videotapes of television ad vertisements that Creamer is developing. Commented Musch weck, “Many people would drink milk if it comes to mind, but they don’t think of it. Our objective is to get people thinking of it.” The focus of the advertising, said Muschweck, is that “Milk is a real beverage.” He claimed that the Pa. campaign is like no other in the country because it leaves aside all the claims about nutrition and health, and simply promotes milk as a tasty beverage. The attributes of an adult beverage, he outlined, are good taste, satisfying, and thirst quenching. Portraying Gina Major, current Miss Pennsylvania, as a young career woman who chooses “good taste” will tie in with this theme, he explained.

As a three-month-old donated Holstein calf was led into the ring Along local promotion lines, the board also took action on two more county promotion funding ap plications. Because not all of the monies allocated for local promotion programs have been used, the board decided that any groups who were not previously funded could still submit funding applications for review by the board. The final board action was to select two members of the ad visory board to attend a National Dairy Promotion and Advisory Board meeting in Dallas in two weeks. The national promotion board is requesting input from the local programs so that promotion on all levels can be coordinated.

Shuman. “FmHA county supervisors in nearly 2,000 local offices rescheduled, con solidated or reamor tized loans for over 30,200 farm borrowers,” Shuman said. “They also deferred part of the loan payments due from more than 2,800 far mers. “Without these special actions,” he said, “these farmers would not have been able to continue far ming.” Shuman said USDA also subordinated its lien position on security for over 31,000 FmHA farm loans, for farmers who had borrowed up to the FmHA limit. Those subordinations made collateral available to farmers for their use in obtaining additional credit from private sector lenders. “Again, most of these farmers would not have been able to stay in business without this special assistance,” he said. “Even in these dif ficult times for agriculture, over 70 percent of FmHA borrowers are making their payments on schedule. One way or another,” Shuman said, “we stayed with nearly 98 percent of all of our borrowers during the year. As a lender of last resort, the case could be made that the agency has kept its present 273,000 FmHA borrowers from going out of business.” Shuman said President Reagan’s new Farm Credit Initiatives will give the agency even more authority to assist farmers in fiscal 1985. “We expect that through the additional debt set aside and private sector farm loan guarantee provisions, we will be able to help even more farmers stay in business this fiscal year than we did the last.” EXPERT REPAIRS FENCERS /% • GENERATORS • STARTERS . 11l • ALTERNATORS K_ ptnim^l UTTEHESWiF Ronks.
