Farmers PHILADELPHIA The new secretary of agriculture should utilize the discretionary authori ties given to him under the 1990 farm law to improve conditions in rural America, according to the National Farmers Union convention. In a special order of business recently, the farm organization’s delegates called upon the new agriculture secretary to raise the farm law’s minimum target prices to levels that better approximate ihe actual average costs of produc tion and also link target prices to changes in the consumer price index. The convention urged the new secretary to raise the commodity loan rates on wheat and feed grains closer to target price levels and also to increase marketing loan rates on cotton, rice, and oil seeds in efforts to improve farm income and lower government > 2nd ANNUAL 't SHENANDOAH " TROTTERS, INC.

The Farmers Union is request ing the new secretary to imple ment the Targeted Option Pay ments (TOP) Program and imple ment the bushel-based pilot program for wheat and feed grains. In addition, the farm con vention called for increasing mini mal levels of wheat and com in the nation’s farmer-owned reserve, and recommended changes in the deficiency payment system. The convention delegates said they recongized that whether the farm law was reopened, amended or ignored, additional changes to the structure and operation of the 1990 farm law were “virtually inevitable.” The Farmers Union noted the Bush administration has already proposed budget changes for 1992 that would significantly impact the farm law by imposing addi tional budget cuts. Congress has also opened the farm law debate by considering additional authori zation for the Export Enhance ment Program, the farm conven tion pointed out. In making changes to the 1990 farm law, the Farmers Union con vention urged Congress to “place the highest priority on providing family farmers with the opportuni ty to earn a fair return for their commodities from the marketplace.” In addition, the farm group is asking Congress to repeal the defi cit reduction taxes imposed on commodities as loan origination fees, and to provide improved assistance through food and nutri tion programs. Petitions containing nearly 40,000 signatures from through out the nation have been collected in a month’s period of lime by the farm organization’s members. The petitions were delivered recently to Senate and House agriculture committees and the White House.

WA-Del ISAAC-et, a young Holstein bull bred by Rick Wadel, of Shippensburg, was selected for sampling and his semen has just been released for use in herds on officials Dairy Herd Improvement test throughout the United States. The goal is to achieve a mini- mum of 50 daughters milking in 40 herds across the nation for a high repeatability on his first test. According to Terry Rawn, reg ional sire analyst for Landmark said the company selected ISAAC because of his bloodline. He is sired by Trifecta, one of Bell’s best sons for protein and TPI. His dam is a Very Good 88 with an Excellent mammary and has produced 25,864 pounds of milk, 4.7 percent of which was fat and 3.4 percent of which was protein, during a lactation started at 3 years, 8 months. Her dam, VG Lime Hollow Mars, had a lifetime N.Y. Ag (Continued from Page A3B) I prices at last October’s level, which was $15.64 in Federal Order 2, until September 1992. The legislation was introduced by Congressman Robin Tallon of South Carolina and Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont. Economists estimated this would add approxi mately $1.20 to the blend price in the New York-New Jersey mark eting area and $1.50 to the blend price in New England. In addition, Sen. Leahy’s bill proposes to raise federal solids non-fat standards to match stan dards in California. This would increase solids non-fat standards in milk products, which would have a two-fold benefit to the dairy industry: It would create a market for powdered milk, because powdered milk would be used to increase solids in milk pro ducts, and consumers would receive belter testing products.

The next dam is also a VG. Semen from ISAAC is to be available for sampling in the “GO” Herd Program for the next 60 to 90 days. Another bull bred by Waverly Farm, of Clearbrook, Va., is WF Sooner Count-et, a young Jersey bull. Count is also entering the “GO” program and his semen will be available for the next 60 to 90 days. Count is sired by Sooner, the sire noted for high production and high rear udders His dam is Quicksilver Royal, a VG 89 as a 2-year-old. Her full sis ter was VG 85 percent and made 600 pounds of fat and was the dam of a 1989 National heifer consign ment. Their dam is Favorite Saint, an Excellent 94 percent, with three records over 19,000 pounds of milk. Her maternal sister is Bold T, a VG 85 percent with records of 17,000 pounds of milk, 764 pound s fat and 619 pounds protein. Their dam was a daughter of Chocolate Soldier. Agencies The proposal would also go a long way toward solving the problems caused by a surplus of milk, because the increased use of pow dered milk nationwide would help reduce surpluses. RCMA’s directors are very concerned about finding a long term solution to dairy prices. At the previous month’s meeting, the board voted to support the concept of supply management, and urged the Department of Agriculture to study supply management and a two-tier pricing system. RCMA has not endorsed any of the specif ic supply management programs currently under discussion. Membership in RCMA con tinues to grow. Directors voted to accept the membership applica tions of 19 individual members and one cooperative, Scenic Mountain Milk Cooperative based in Forksville. The cooperative has 14 members.
