Auctioneers; SI Pappatman AU-000-707-L Jerry Wright Referendum Set (ComtniMtf from Pag* At) ily of cooperative mem ben to change their mind between the time a cooperative petition is determined and the actual referendum. The vote on the National Dairy Promotion and Research Board came as a result of a petition drive organized in the Midwest by the “Dump the National Dairy Board Campaign." . Over time, the organization compiled enough signatures to satisfy a requirement that they show a strong enough percentage of dairy producers to bring the question to a referendum. The movement started because of anti-BST efforts. BST is an acronym for Bovine somatotropin which is a naturally occuring pro tein hormone that, in a cow, regu lates the flow of nutrients to the mammary, and thus the secretion of milk. Additional BST in a cow results in additional milk produced and several biotechnology companies have produced synthetic BST through the use of genetically engineered bacteria the same , process used to manufacture most of the insulin used by diabetics. Opposition to the use of biotech nology has been a force in calling for the dumping of the NDB. The dairy board, which was created to promote the safety and consumption of milk, as well as to SAT.

Due On National From August 5 Through August 16 conduct research, derives its fund ing from a portion of a IS-oent per hundredweight of milk promotion assessment Hie opposition to the dairy board arose when the board, in an attempt to allay public fears about milk derived from BST-treated cows (which has for yean been approved for human consumption since there is no such thing as milk without BST and humans have been ingesting and digesting the protein), began to direct efforts to public education about BST. Those in opposition to BST started up the Dump the NDB cam paign and, over time, gained enough signatures to force the vote. In the meantime, the core of the group which worked to gain signa tures also filed a class action law suit against U.S. Secretary Mike r—myftn*> . • ik'SCTi 7 * 1 ' unounar immiu. Espy (because he is now secretary) seeking io eliminate the practice of bloc voting. According to published reports 102 farmers from 10 states joined in supporting the lawsuit, for which a trial is set for Sept. IS. according to the July 23 issue of Wisconsin State Fanner. However, the group sought an injunction against bloc voting for the referendum, but that has been denied by Judge John Shabaz. In the meantime, the referenduita is to continue as scheduled. Eventually, however, should the suit actually come to a trial (a pre trial conference is reportedly set for Sept. 7 to determine whether or not to dismiss the case), and if it be found that bloc voting is unconsti tutional, then the referendum could be nullified.
