Board Recommends Technologies
For Every Commodity
WASHINGTON - An in
dependent board of users of
agricultural research and ex
tension has urged the Department
of Agriculture and Congress to
adopt a public sector research goal
of developing inexpensive
technologies to support inex
pensive commodities. “A goal of
profitability without subsidies
should be examined for the longer
term. Technology should be useful
to all operators, regardless of farm
size or skill level,” the board
reported.
The National Agricultural
Research and Extension Users
Advisory Board makes its
recommendations to the Secretary
and the Congress in its budget and
program review. These two annual
reports are mandated by law. The
25 members represent different
categories of agricultural
producers and suppliers and are
selected from the private sector by
the Secretary of Agriculture.

records to 20,360 pounds of milk.
The next dam produced a lifetime
record of 120,000 milk with a 4.3
percent test.
Breese Farm, Claysville, was
the high volume buyer, purchasing
five head. Riley Carl was the
second high volume buyer, pur
chasing three head.
The sale averaged $555 on 42 lots
which were between 3 months and
1 year old. The average increased
slightly over last year’s average of
$505.
J. O. Fenstermaker served as
auctioneer while Oren Bender read
pedigrees. The Washington County
Holstein Club sponsored the sale.
Rodney Rankin and Dwight Hunter
headed up the sale committee.
Microbial Genetics Division of
Pioneer Hi-Bred International
Inc., in Johnston, lowa, said the
concern of the board is that the
economics of new technologies
such as biotechnology are not
being comprehensively studied
and coordinated with public policy.
“New technologies cannot build a
constituency of support and are
vulnerable to having unknown
risks outweigh unknown benefits
unless there is an analysis of on
farm economics, the potential
profits for the user, and the impact
on U.S. taxpayers.” “With sub
sidies now in excess o t $25 billion
per year, we will find public ag
policy and technologies coming
eyeball to eyeball," he added.
