A22-Lancaster Farming, Saturday, May 4, 1991 Lancaster Chamber Adopts Nutrient Management Policy LANCASTER (Lancaster Co.) The directors of The Lan caster Chamber of Commerce recently adopted a policy position toward nutrient management legis lation, which is currently under consideration in the state House Agricultural and Rural Affairs Committee. According to Jay Howes, mana ger of agricultural services for the Chamber, the board adopted the policy during a recent board meeting. The policy position is: As Pennsylvania’s premier agri cultural county, Lancaster pro duces in excess of $672.7 million in farm value of dairy, livestock and poultry products annually, representing approximately 30 percent of Pennsylvania’s total production of these commodities. While recognizing the tremend ous economic benefit of this inten sive animal agriculture to the eco nomy of the county, The Lancaster Chamber of Commerce and Indus try also recognizes that all indus tries must operate in the most environmentally sound manner possible. The Chamber, therefore, has taken great interest in the report of the Governor’s Select Committee on Nonpoint Source Nutrient Man agement and, in general, endorses its recommendations.
