derstanding of stewardship
changed?

What can we leam from the
financial causes and problems
related to the current farm crises
in the East and Midwest? Is there
an end in sight? How can we care
for those in crisis?
• “Farming and Identity”- Is
family farming a viable option?
Should families try to keep the
farm in the family? How does
farming shape one’s faith? What
about food and Third World con
cerns?

Association president and Dr.
Clair Engle, an advisor to the
Sheep and Wool Growers, and
Sheep Extension Specialist at Penn
State University acted as co
chairman for this first annual
event.
New Zealand Tour
On Oct. 31 to Nov. 20, 1987 the
Pennsylvania Sheep and Wool
Growers Association is sponsoring
a tour of the sheep country in
Australia and New Zealand.
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

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.

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.

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.”
