National All-Jersey honors equitable pricing contributors
on June 18.
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.
NEW from
CHORE-TIME
20” deep SSS curtain back
cage layer system
Get The Only New Technology Available For Cage Systems
Chore-Time’s new 20” deep SSS 4-high system puts 33%
more birds into the same row lengths as old style 3-high
systems - without dropping boards and without a need
for greater building width. 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

promoting and developing
equitable milk pricing, a pricing
system that includes payment for
protein, in addition to butterfat.
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.
