agriculture a stronger voice in
Harrisburg.
And we have a bumper crop
to cultivate this spring. Still to be

representative spots.
Is it too late to get involved?
Absolutely not. Call your favorite
candidates. Find out how they
stand on such things as Casey’s
cutback in ag research and
neglect of farm youth programs.
Let them know that farmers
and agribusiness people aren't
sitting on the sidelines. We want
to help. In the primary May 15.

Volunteer to hand out litera

MAMMA ,
ACME
Cooperate
To Promote
Milk
TOWSON, Md.—
Acme Markets has
become the latest major
retailer to authorize the
use of milk price boards
provided by the Middle
Atlantic Milk Market
ing Association
(MAMMA).
Acme Markets will
be the single largest
user of the boards in the
mid-Atlantic area with
the installation of the
signs in 280 Acme
stores throughout Pen
nsylvania, southern
New Jersey, Delaware
and Maryland.
“Thanks to a team
approach involving not
only MAMMA, but
Lehigh Valley Dairies
as well, we were suc
cessful in convincing
Acme to use them,”
said MAMMA Market
ing Director Bill Snitch
er. “Even though it took
an entire year to get the
go-ahead, the results
should be well worth
the wait”
Acme Markets is to
further support the
program by investing
their own funds to
match the colors on the
price boards with the
colors used on Acme’s
different varieties of
milk. They have also
decided to hire an out
side firm to install the
boards rather than using
their own employees.
“Together, the joint
investment between
MAMMA and Acme
totals approximately
$13,000 in behalf of
area dairy farmers,”
Snitcher said.
Installation of the
equipment should begin
this month. In order to
receive the boards,
Acme had to agree to
display them for at least
one year. It is hoped
they they will become a
permanent addition to
the stores, MAMMA
officials said.
MAMMA’s price
boards have been
placed in almost 800
supermarkets including
Super Fresh, Thriftway,
Basics, Valu Food, San
toni’s. Farm Fresh,
IGA, Clemens, Jay’s,
Kam’s, and Food Lane.
