Penn State Dairy Science Club Osteoporosis seminar on campus; CORTLAND, NY - Stressing the need to preserve market oriented agriculture, the National Grange held its 120th annual convention in Madison, Wise., recently. The organization called for a reorientation of government national agricultural policy aimed at assisting traditional moderate sized family farms. The National Grange noted that the pattern of farm ownership continues to squeeze out traditional family operations in a shift toward a bi polarization of agriculture. National Grange policy calls for the phasing out of government program benefits to larger farm units (which do not need govern ment payments and/or subsidies to compete and survive) as well as to part-time farmers who do not rely upon agriculture as their principal source of income. Currently, 5 percent of farms with sales exceeding $200,000 account for 50 percent of production. Another 71 percent with sales under $40,000 (the overwhelming majority of which TRACTOR IS FINISHING THE BEST YEAR EVER 1655 Rohrerstown Road Lancaster, PA 1987 Gram National Grange Sets Family Farm Policies THE FRIENDLY RELIABLES Dairy Day at the mail; newspaper ads; print posters for use in on campus promotions, $230.

Being squeezed in the middle are the 24 percent of traditional full-time family farms which account for 38 percent of production. Though the Treasury disbursed tens of billions into farmer payments to offset low prices, nearly two-thirds of 1985’s deficiency payments went to the largest 5 percent of farms at the same time tens of thousands of traditional family farms collapsed. National Grange Master Edward Andersen stated that “farm credit problems must be dealt with im mediately.” Grange policy calls on Congress and the Administration to restructure farm loans not to reduce loan interest rates. “Loans must be restructured to reduce the annual payment during this time of very low farm in come,” explained Andersen. National Grange will place major emphasis on fami'teredit issues in the 100th Congress.

Grange policy also called for keeping land in the Farmers’ Home inventory out of production to prevent creation of additional surpluses. National Grange also called on the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation to speed up processing and payment of claims and for the Commodity Credit Corporation surplus and stored grain to be made available to limited resource farmers in disaster stricken areas at no cost, based on need. Marketing loans remain the best route towards keeping American production competitive on world markets, indicated National' Master Andersen. “Those who t support mandatory production 1 controls to balance supply andJ demand to reach 99 to 100 perceftt|j of parity must also accept that there will be no foreign sales of agricultural products,” he ex plained.
