Chester County
ATGLEN (Chester Co.) The
Chester County 4-H Dairy
Awards Banquet was held on
Monday, November 13, 1989 at
the West Fallowfield Christian
School. A fine dinner featuring
turkey waS served to 113 4-H’ers
and their families and friends.
The Oxford Dairy Club was in
charge of the affair and various
4-H members of the club con
ducted the meeting with Bnan
Hosteller of Parkesburg as the
emcee. The musically talented
Tri-Community Club from the
Phoemxville/Spring City area pro
vided the entertainment. Under
the direction of Mr. Yorgey, a
band of three french horns, a sax, a
tuba, drums, and a piano played
several popular sonj*s with the
audience singing along on four of
them.

based on record book scores was
won by Karen Sanner of Dow

sidies. That was expensive for the
European countries but it also
look all the business away from
us. They drove the price down and
we couldn’t compete so we put
mountains of powder into storage.
Those European production
quotas eliminated 3.6 million
cows; got rid of all their surpluses
and opened foreign markets to our
powder. The question has been
how long would they watch us
take their markets before raising
their quotas? Evidently they’re
happy with the way things are and
are making no plans to change --
at least for the present. That’s
good news because they could
easily go back to increased pro
duction and even export subsidies
and along with competition from
Australia and New Zealand we
may lose some of our new markets

prices.
Cheese Problems
There’s a similar but different
problem with cheese. With cheese
sales in this country increasing
seven percent a year and prices at
record highs the opportunity for
importing cheese looks attractive.
Fortunately, we have import quo
tas on some types of cheese but
not all. There are two categories -
quota cheese and non quota
cheese. The quota cheeses are
mainly the ones we make like
Cheddar, Swiss and Italian with a
total quota of 240 million pounds.
A bigger problem is the non quota
cheese that has averaged 59 mil
lion pounds the last four years.
Among these are some very inex
pensive cheeses that can take sales
away from our domestic types.
