Milk truck decal promotion
program receives pledge
HARRISBURG - The Penn
sylvania Dairymen’s Association
has pledged $lOOO to the Penn
sylvania Dairy Promotion
Program milk truck decal
program.
Dairymen’s Association
President David Roth said the
organization fully supports the
concept of moving billboards and
will contribute $lOOO to the in
novative promotion which kicks off
in 1985.
“We appreciate this pledge from
the Pennsylvania Dairymen’s
Association. It is symbolic of the
joint promotional efforts we have
encouraged throughout the state
for agriculture,” said state
Agriculture Secretary and
Promotion Program Advisory
Chairman Penrose Hallowell.
In its effort to take the “Make It
Milk” message to as many Penn
sylvanians as possible, the Dairy
Promotion Advisory Board has
approved a joint promotion with
Pennsylvania milk haulers. Under
this program, the Advisory Board
subsidizes the cost of milk truck
decals, either “Make It Milk” or
“You’re in Pennsylvania Dairy
Country.” Participating haulers
agree to install the decals and pay
a portion of their cost.
“These moving billboards will
carry the milk message from rural
communities to our largest
metropolitan areas,” Hallowell
said. “We are pleased to be
working with hauling firms and
state associations to develop a
truly cooperative dairy promotion

Roth said that the Pennsylvania
Dairymen’s Association raises
money by selling milk shakes at
the annual Farm Show and by
marketing the milk from animals
housed at the Farm Show Complex
during dairy shows.
The Pennsylvania Dairy
Promotion Program was created
under provisions of the National
Dairy Promotion Program.
Federal legislation passed in 1983
established a mandatory deduction
of 15 cents per hundredweight on
all milk produced in the con
tinental United States. Funds are
used to promote milk and dairy
products, with qualifying
programs like Pennsylvania’s
receiving 10 cents of the federal
deduction for use in local and
regional promotion efforts.
