Challenges were to be . made to the Agricultural Stabiliza tion and Conservation Service by -Thursday, May 12. Chet Hughes, Lancaster County livestock agent, predicted that 10 to 15 percent of the county’s eligi ble 4,500 producers would come in to vote. Many of those voting no agreed with a beef farmer from Manheim who said “I’m a producer and some of my cattle go back for breeding stock, and it’s unfair that money is taken off of them. I’d like to this change before we vote yes or no on the referendum.” Others felt that the money spent on advertising isn’t what affected beef prices. They believed it simp ly was a matter of supply and demand. The beef supply is lower than current demand. “They haven’t been having too much suc cess with the advertising,” com mented a Leola beef producer who wished to remain anonymous. “Sure we’re getting a better price for beef, but we’re paying more for feeder cattle too. The difference in the gain isn’t helping us.” Some of those in favor of the referendum felt that advertising has worked though, “prices arc higher on calves and cull cows, and if it only costs $1 to keep it that Belt Drive - 24” tlirough 48” (shown). Direct Drive -12” through 24”.

Wilmer Conrad of Lilitz agreed saying, “I’m in favor of advertising because eventually a cow goes for hamburger anyway. The only thing I have against the checkoff is selling breeding stock; that bugs me.” Many producers, both dairy and beef, felt that promotion was effec tive, but they also felt that the money shouldn’t come from the producer, “the simplest way to get funds is from farmers,” declared n Elizabethtown dairy farmer. “It would be more fair to go to the merchandiser or store owner, who would in turn pass it on to the con sumer and that’s where the check off should be. “I also think having 4-H*ers vote isn’t fair because they don’t have stock in it; most times parents bought the steers.” Another stumbling block for some voters was government con trol. As one farmer put it, “if there isn’t any government control, then why is the checkoff mandatory?” The tally in Lancaster County will be an indicator of how the vote will do in the rest of the country, according to Hary. H. Stambaugh, beef producer and member of the Pennsylvania Cattle Marketing Associates. “If it’s even close in Lancaster County, then the referendum will pass m the rest of the nation,” he predicted.
