restaurants and at parties came to
light.
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.

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.

their FmHA loans,”
said FmHA ad
ministrator Charles W.
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.”
