D2O-Umcaster Farming Saturday December 22,1984
for farm market development
CHICAGO - Six farm com
modity organizations now have
$249,887 more to spend to build
markets for corn, wheat, beef,
pork, cotton and real dairy foods.
The monies were raised through
Velsicol’s Operation Trade Ex
pansion, a program underwritten
by Velsicol Chemical Corporation,
Chicago. In addition to announcing
the large contribution, Velsicol has
also disclosed plans to continue the
program in 1985.
Initiated in the fall of 1983,
Velsicol’s Operation Trade Ex
pansion contributes funds to
farmer-supported commodity
organizations for use on specific
market expansion projects. For
every gallon of Velsicol herbicide
sold and reported in the 1984
season, Velsicol donated 50 cents to
the American Dairy Association,
Cotton Incorporated, National
Association of Wheat Growers,
National Corn Growers
Association, National Cattlemen’s
Association and the National Pork
Producers Council. Farmers and
ranchers filled out “ballots” at
their ag chemical dealerships to
determine which organizations
would receive the funds.
The contributions, as deter
mined by the farmer and rancher
ballots cast m 1983-84, will be
distributed as follows: American
Dairy Association, $15,501; Cotton
Incorporated, $10,136; National
Association of Wheat Growers,
$73,743; National Corn Growers
Association, $97,758; National
Cattlemen’s Association, $32,210;
and the National Pork Producers
Council, $20,539.
“Because of the good response
by farmers to the program the first
year, we were able to donate a
total of $249,887 to the six com
modity groups in 1984,” said Dale
Miller, Director of Marketing and
Sales for Velsicol Chemical Cor
poration. “We hope to greatly
exceed that figure in year two of
the program. Velsicol is com
mitted to helping expand both
foreign and domestic sales of U.S.
farm commodities,” he said.
Velsicol initiated Operation
Trade Expansion because the
company believes agribusinesses
have an obligation to help insure

Velsicol raises funds
markets for the nation’s ag
production.
Groups participating in the 1985
program will include: American
Soybean Association, Cotton In
corporated, National Association
of Wheat Growers, National
Cattlemen’s Association, National
Corn Growers Association, and the
National Pork Producers Council.
All Velsicol herbicides (Banvel,
Banvel 11, Weedmaster, MonDak
and Carbyne) are included in the
program. Participation in
Operation Trade Expansion does
not constitute a product en
dorsement by the commodity
organizations, Miller emphasized.
Farmers will find ballots to
make their commodity group
selection at ag chemical suppliers
where herbicides are purchased.
1985 ballots are also being mailed
to all farmers who cast a ballot in
1984.
A new commodity group in the
program for 1985, the American
Soybean Association, plans to
direct funds they receive from
Velsicol into developing a soybean
food product which meets the
dietary and taste requirements of
the people of India. The goal is to
increase demand for U.S. soybeans
and soy products.
Cotton Incorporated received
$10,136 from the 1984 program and
will use funds from year one and
two of Operation Trade Expansion
to help underwrite the cost of their
successful “True Performance”
promotion, which encourages
manufacturers of apparel and
home furnishings to use special
labels which allow easy consumer
identification of the particular
benefits of cotton products.
The National Association of
Wheat Growers (NAWG), through
its Foundation, will invest year one
and two Operation Trade Ex
pansion monies in three projects.
NAWG received $73,743 in 1984 and
will sponsor trainees from the
People’s Republic of China to
attend the American Institute of
Baking. Once trained in the U.S.,
the representatives will train
others when they return to China.
The Wheat Growers Foundation
will also make bakery equipment
available to training schools in
