The Packer newspaper, Silber mann said, conducted a survey on consumer attitudes and found that people “still buy with their eyes. And the health benefits of produce have been promoted more in the last 10 years than ever before.” According to the 1989 FMI survey, 8 out of every 10 con sumers said that product safety was “very important.” Eighty-two percent said that pesticide residues in food pose a “serious hazard” to their health. ‘ ‘The consumers most concerned are the ones who eat a lot of produce,” he said. “They are concerned about the envi ronment and potential negative effects.” Silbermann said farmers must develop better press rela tions and keep the public informed. Farmers should also keep careful documentation on pesticide use with actual useage records, have a crisis plan ready, and try to do their best to educate consumers about farm quality assurance efforts. “The consumer will continue to have a voice on how a farm product is grown and shipped,” he said. “One message that farming cooperatives and associations can give to far mers is try to hold a hand out, and use marketing operations to educate people about hum products and how food is made.” It’s time to get your club reor ganized for the year.
