Walter Wurster WEST CHESTER (Chester Co.) On Monday. July 19, 1993, the Chester County DHIA Board of Directors approved and signed a “Memorandum of Agree ment” betwee PA DHIA and the county organization. The Chester County board has decided to re main an independent county, but to continue to have PA DHIA pro vide all the laboratory and data processing services. The agree ment merely slates the responsi bilities of both organizations so that a complete, accurate and in formative service can be provided for Chester County dairymen. Actually, Chester County will continue to operate as in pest yean before centralization wu propos ed and implemented.

They also purchase and maintain the testing equipment, including meters and scales. The county board handles and/ or reports official rules violations. They also act as a honing board for concerns of technicians and dairymen. It is important that all DHIA members know that they must adhere to the rules of the Na tional and PA DHIA. Hie techni cians are instructed to make no ex ceptions. Animal identification sometimes presents a problem when a dairyman has not received the registration paper for a new cow. The technician must see the actual registration paper before the cow can be officially identi fied on the DHIA report. PA DHIA agrees to furnish la boratory services, certified data processing services, educational material for farmers and training for technicians. They also certify milk meter and scale calibrations, and offer a repair service for the meters. The state.board offers due process hearings for allegations of official rule violations. The Chester County DHIA Board decided to remain an inde pendent county rather than be come part of the state centralized system because they feel that they can offer the same quality of ser vice at a lower cost to their dairy men. They believe that keeping control of the testing program at the county level makes the system more responsive to the needs of the dairy farmers and the techni cians. However, they also feel that the excellent lab facilities and the new programs implemented by PA DHIA offer the best system for Chester County DHIA members. PA DHIA has taken some giant strides in the past year to offer a broad program that will satisfy the needs of all dairymen. Lap-top computers are now being intro duced across the state so that fanners can have print-outs avail able the day the technician is there. The reports are constantly being improved to meet the needs of modem dairying. Yes, there is a program for all size herds and with a wide variety of pricing plans. Chester County DHIA and PA DHIA anticipate a successful working agreement that will be to the benefit of ail Chester County DHIA members.
