816-Lancaster Farming, Saturday, September 21, 1991 Video Tells Farmer’s Viewpoint ST. LOUIS, Mo. A new vid eo series has been developed to tell city folks the farmer’s side of the food production story. "The Food Equation," deve loped by Monsanto Agricultural Co., the National Com Growers Association, and the WJ. Morse Foundation of the American Soy bean Association, examines our food supply from three different perspectives: food quantity, farm ing methods and food safety. The three-part series is narrated by former network anchor Kath leen Sullivan. It features high school students from the city who serve as reporters, asking the nation's leading scientists their views about improving and sus taining the world's ability to pro duce plentiful, healthful foods for a rapidly growing population. Along the way, they learn how U.S. farmers, who account for two percent of the population, can feed the rest of the nation and part of the world. "We hear from some quarters that the modem, high-production farming practices responsible for feeding so many of us should be changed," Sullivan says in the opening of the series. "Ultimately your opinion and mine will be reflected in our government's farm policy." To help viewers form their own opinions, the student reporters learn how farmers have increased production in the past and examine hcaith act SPECIAL FALL SALE-^ W* BLEND,.

The series balances the ecological and food safety con cerns about agricultural chemicals with the reality that the Earth has limited land and water and a popu lation that is expected to double in 40 years. Although the videos are designed for junior and senior high school students, sponsors hope ag chemical dealers will reserve a copy to share with civic groups and others from the non-farming community. "This is an important message for agriculture, and we're looking for grassroots-support in spreading the message," said Robert Har ness, vice president of environ mental and public affairs for Mon santo. "We hope people in agricul ture will urge their school districts to show the series so all can have a balanced perspective on these issues that are vital to our industry." The series is an extension of the popular series DETAIL, which addresses environmental and safe ty issues of agriculture.

Pennsylvania Dairy Promotion Program has utilized another advertising vehicle for Pennsylva nia's dairy farmers. The PDPP and dairy products were a part of the recent Big 33 Football Classic on the Radio PA Network and this advertising continues on the statewide network in September. During the weeks of September 16 and 23, consumers will hear about the goodness of Pennsylva nia ice cream. The advertisements focus on ice cream’s nutrition and its continued use throughout the fall and winter seasons. The adver tisements are the last thrust of the PDPP’s ice cream campaign activities. The Big 33 Football Classic, which touts the accomplishments of high school football athletes, was aired in late July. The PDPP served as a sponsor of the statew ide broadcast so followers and others could hear about the exploits of today’s young athletes. Many of these athletes are headed for outstanding fall seasons with top college teams. The Radio PA Network is heard by more than 50% of the state’s adult population on both AM and FM stations.
