One promotional 'gimmick"
devised by her state’s California
Women for Agriculture group has
been highly successful in stirring
media interest and consumer
awareness of the price that far
mers receive for their produce.
Members set up a huge
educational exhibit in the San
Francisco waterfront area, with
displays covering the gamut of the
state’s agriculture production. As
part of the effort, they also sold
farm-fresh produce at the price the
grower receives at the farm.
Response by the city residents was
understandably overwhelming,
with over 100 tons of fresh foods
changing hands at bargain prices
in just the few days that the exhibit
ran.
Other topics covered during the
seminar included decision
management and concurrent
sessions on estate tax planning,
lobbying, and nutrition and stress.
A summation of the long-range
purpose of the annual gathering of
agriculture women was offered by
Kathy Gill, executive secretary of
the Pennsylvania Association of
Farmer Cooperatives, ' who
coordinated activities through the
event.
‘We need to get together to know
one another,” said Gill. “Those
who work in agriculture need this
networking with farm women.”
Groups involved in planning the
Women in Agriculture day in
cluded the Pennsylvania Depart
ment of Agriculture. Penn’s Agri-
Women, Pennsylvania Farmers’
Association’s women’s committee,
Pennsylvania Association of
Farmer Cooperatives, Farmer’s
Union, Society of Farm Women
and the Grange.
Wismer to speak
at PFU meeting
HERSHEY - State Grange
Master Charles E. Wismer, Jr.,
will be the featured speaker at the
Pennsylvania Farmers Union’s
14th Annual Convention banquet,
November 6 at the Hotel Hershey.
“We have worked very closely
with the State Grange on a number
of important issues lately,” said
PFU Executive Director Chester
L. Reed. Reed cited legal
representation of farmers who had
shipped milk to Schep’s Cheese
and recent confirmation
proceedings for Secretary of
Agriculture Richard E. Grubb as
examples of the two farm
organizations working together to
benefit family farmers.
“It is only fitting to have a leader
from another farm organization
address our delegates. Farmers
must work together to survive our
current financial crisis,” Reed
said.
Non-delegates wishing to attend
the banquet may reserve tickets at
$2O each by calling toll-free 1-800-
