Through the joint efforts of MTS Travel and the Pennsylvania Sheep and Wool Growers independent shippers in Lehigh county to 665 independent shippers in Lancaster couty. We have a lot of independent dairies in Penn sylvania. But we have gone to the milk marketing board and they report that the mechanism is in place to deal with the overorder pricing if it comes into play. The dealers will need to have a hearing and the marketing board will recognize it as a cost. So it can be passed on to the consumer. Ely also introduced Edward D. Anna as the newly appointed executive director of RCMA. Anna succeeds Arthur D. Little who had previously notified the board that is was necessary for him to return to full-time work at Dairylee Cooperative, Inc., where he has been a membership department executive for several years. Anna will assume his new position on January 1. Shortly thereafter, the office of RCMA will be moved from its present location in Syracuse to Batavia. Anna brings a strong dairy RCMA Program Outline (Continued from Page A3B) dependent handler. Once that handler agrees to the over-order price your milk will go back into his plant. Q: HOW WILL THE NON-COOP MEMBERS BE REPRESENTED IN RCMA LEADERSHIP? A: Each non-coop member will be assigned to a region. Non-coop producer members in each region will elect a Delegate for each 300 RCMA producer members in the region and one Director from each region. The Delegates will represent the members at meetings of the corporation and the Director will sit on the RCMA Board of Direc tors. Cooperatives and Capper-Volstead organizations will also have equitable representation in the Delegate body and on the Board. Q: HOW LONG IS A TERM OF THE MEMBER’S MARKETING AGREEMENT? A; Essentially it is an annual contract with a January Ist with drawal date. However, until the first of January following a full year of membership, a member may withdraw with ninety (90) days notice. Q: ARE THERE ANY OTHER OVER-ORDER PRICING SYSTEMS NOW IN EFFECT? A: Yes. A recent issue of the USDA Dairy Market News reported over-order prices in 35 areas throughout the United States. Very recently, dairy farmers in the southeastern states formed the Sunbelt Dairy Federation to institute over-order pricing. 2 GRADED FEEDER PIG SALES: 1359.

Symposium Association, the dedicated sheep enthusiast will be able to go “home” to sheep country. A variety of learning and sightseeing experiences includes stops at government livestock/forage research stations, a lake cruise to the famous Glow Worm caves in New Zealand, and optional overnight host farm visits. With the assistance of Clair and Marilyn Engle, those who go will get a “futuristic look at the sheep in dustry.” The symposium was sponsored by the Pennsylvania Sheep and Wool Growers Association, the Penn State Cooperative Extension Service, the American Sheep Producers Council and Allied Industries. RCMA Sets (Continued from Page ASS) background to the ECMA job. He has been involved with milk production at the farm level, served as assistant manager of Upstate Milk Cooperatives, Inc., and more recently was executive vice president of Cuba Cheese, Cuba, New York. Anna also taught dairy science at Canton Ag and Tech College for seven years. “RCMA is the only way dairy farmers can directly improve the price they get for their milk,” Anna told the group. “I am con vinced it can succeed and I am dedicated to make it happen,” he said. Proof of that commitment is evident because I left a rather permanent job to accept this position.” Members of the steering com mittee that were named at the meeting include the following: Carl Brown, PFA, Pine Grove; Robert Pardoe, Grange, Milton; Donald B. Duncan, Grange, Robesonia; Arden Tewksbury, PFU, Meshoppen; Karl Kroeck, PFA, Knoxville; Harold Wolfe, PFU, Centre Hall; and Arthur D. Little, Syracuse.
