National All-Jersey Inc. is the milk marketing arm of the American Jersey Cattle Club. The investor awards are given to those dairy farmers who have invested money in National AII- convention of the United States Power Squadrons being held in Baltimore that week. Over 200 boats from throughout the nation and about 1,000 people are ex pected to be part of that event. “Tentative plans call for us opening the activity Friday af ternoon on the 6th remaining open until dark and then coming and running all day Saturday,” Mr. Covell added. The 1986 event will be staged on the western end of Rash Field adjacent to the Maryland Science Jersey’s Equity Program for five continuous years. The awards are in recognition and appreciation of longtime support and promotion of equitable milk pricing. Started in June 1976, the Equity Program has been a pioneer in Center. Last year the event was held at nearby Sam Smith Park. Created in 1984 as a Maryland 350th Anniversary celebration event, the festival featured a fleet of food-laden Cheasapeake Bay Skipjacks sailing into the harbor, Maryland foods prepared and served ont he site and a number of Maryland counties and agricultural organizations presenting displays by the water’s edge. The event is co-sponsored by the City of Bahtmore and the Maryland Department of Agriculture and is directed by a committee headed by Mr. Coveil. Any group wishing to participate in the 1985 activity should contact Tony Evans or Helen M. Huber by calling (301) 841-5770.

That means at 6 birds per 16”x20” cage (53.3 square inches) a 52’x536’ building can house over 108,000 birds. But, just as important, with this Chore-Time system you also don’t have to sacrifice the features and benefits you’ve come to expect from Chore-Time: single file egg belt, our all galvanized, SOFT TOUCH' II egg collection, a gentle cage floor slope to prevent checks and cracks...rugged A-frame cage support and legs every 4 feet to protect against cage sag and trough NORTHEAST AGRI SYSTEMS, INC.

Today, most major cooperatives and cheese plants price all or part of their milk using some form of “equity pricing.” As a result, Jersey dairy farmers received an additional $l6 million in 1984. The Equity Program is also very involved in working towards the adoption of higher minimum standards for fluid milk. The Equity Program is playing an active role in lobbying for minimum standards legislation on both the state and national levels.
