The PFA planning and evalua
tion team has worked diligently
over the last several months to col
lect and analyze information about
PFA and its programs and opera
tions. As a result, the IS-member
team has been able to develop a
reasonably accurate “forecast” of
what PFA/ACFA will look like as
an organization in 1997.
In order to gain valuable insight
as to what PFA should look like in
1997, the planning and evaluation
team has scheduled six regional
“speak-up meetings” across the
state. Members of the planning
team will review the planning
mode, discuss the “1997 PFA
Forecast,” and solicit ideas from
Lancaster Fuming, Saturday, April it, IW2-A3l
the membership regarding the
changing future course of PFA.
The meetings are open to all PFA
members and staff.
This is the opportunity as an
individual, and as a leader in the
county, to influence the future
course of the organization and
possibly agriculture that will serve
the needs of the farming commun
ity into the 21st century, according
to the association. Attendance and
active participation in Adams
County is critical to the future suc
cess and growth of ACFA/PFA
and farming in general.

president Dave Wenk, (717)

Grassland FFA
Hosts Animal
Welfare
Representative
NEW HOLLAND (Lancaster
Co.) — Ken Brandt, executive vice
president of the Pennsylvanians
for the Responsible Use of Ani
mals (PRUA), will speak at the
Grassland FFA Chapter meeting.
Garden Spot High School, on
Monday, April 13, at 7:30 p.m.
His topic will be “PRUA: Organi
zation and Mission.”
PRUA is a federation of Pen
nsylvania agricultural,
biomedical/veterinary research,
and professional wildlife manage
ment organizations interested in
the continued, responsible use of
animals in Pennsylvania. Since its
formation, PRUA has been active
ly encouraging the humane treat
ment of animals used in food, clo
thing, and apparel production and
biomedical research as well as
animals whose welfare is the
responsibility of Pennsylvania’s
scientific wildlife management
community.
Brandt, a former Lancaster
County representative, headed up
this organization since February
1991.
PRUA’s new projects and ini
tiative include a traveling exhibit
highlighting the importance of
animal use in today’s society, a
first and annual conference on
responsible animal use, and their
statewide venison-sharing project.
Hunters Sharing the Harvest.
Hunters Sharing' the Harvest is
their largest and most extensive
project to date. It is a cooperative
effort by Pennsylvania’s hunters,
meat processors, local food banks,
and the Pennsylvania Department
of Agriculture. It was spearheaded
by PRUA to provide meat for
Pennsylvania’s local food banks.
This past hunting season, the
program generated more than
30,000 pounds of surplus venison
for the needy in Pennsylvania.
Brandt is looking forward to
continued growth this year
because of increased public
awareness.
“Our message ensuring our
quality of life through the respon
sible use of animals is being
accepted by a growing number of
people,” Brandt said. “This is
important today when animal
activists are gaining the spotlight
and trying to dictate what people
should eat, wear, or what activities
they should not participate in
because of purported cruelty.”
