M-Unostw Fanning, Saturday, January 1, 1994 Egg Promotion Coalition Has Successful Year WASHINGTON, D.C. Egg producers in the Northeast are about to read some good news in the form of the Northeast Egg Pro motion Coalition (NEPC) 1993 Annual Report. The report indicates that more than 10 million favorable impres sions were made through the con sumer media at a cost of about one-half cent per impression. “That’s a lot of good coverage for a very good price,” said Paul Sauder, coalition co-chairman. “We’ve 1 been able to cost-effec tively communicate strong pro egg messages to rhillions of con sumers during a time of negative publicly from other sources." The coalition was set up to give egg producers a greater return on their promotion investment by harnessing the collective industry resources of states in the North east to increase the impact on con sumers. Coalition Co-Chairman Paul Hann said, “We have tried to WELLSBORO (Tioga Co.) “In any group of farmers, 100-per cent will be able to tell you stories about their multiflora rose bushes. This is always a common discus sion topic at meetings.” said Craig Williams, Tioga County extension ag agent. It was time to find out what works and what doesn’t. Thus the Tioga County Multiflora Rose Study was bom. The study started in late September 1993 and will continue until the fall of 1994. Bill Curran, weed specialist from Penn State, had conducted a similar study at the Northeast Crop Expo and is consulting on this study. Two sites for the study have been selected the Eric Coolidge Farm near Wellsboro and the Wood Farm in Knoxville. “We had no trouble locating two test sites out of the 700 plus farms in Tioga County. We had plenty of volunteers for the asking on this study,” said Williams. The two sites would be con ducted the same. “We wanted to test several common herbicide products, used in the fall and spring, on a single farm, side by side. This would give our fanners ims, It ig& »unty extension agriculture agent, discusses the multiflora rose control study that Is being conducted on two farms In Tioga County.

Media relations accounted for 74 percent of the Coalition’s 1993 expenditures. This work resulted in favorable coverage in both print and broadcast media in the four largest metropolitan areas in the region; Boston, New York, Phila delphia, and Washington-Balti more, plus other markets. Media relations activities also included establishing the NEPC crisis re sponse team to provide accurate and timely information to report- ers should a crisis occur. The coalition spent 13 percent Multiflora Rose Solutions On Trial a single site to go look' at the test results,” said Williams. The applications to the bushes will be a late fall treatment in 1993 of a group of bushes, a spring 1994 application of a second group, and a single winter applica tion on a single bush. A group of farmers met at both farms to learn about the study and see the semi killed multiflora rose bushes in November.

The remainder of the budget both enabled coalition representa tives to travel to AEB meetings and allowed the coalition to lay the groundwork for a possible ad vertising campaign in early 1994. Eight of the 11 states served by the coalition provided financial support, the pledges for the next year are already being made. Producers are voicing strong support for NEPC. Peter Hudson of Hudson Egg Farms, Elbridge, N.Y., said “All of us ... are hap py to see that, finally, something is being done on a regional basis.” Producers will be receiving copies of the report soon.

The field days discussed the reasons the multiflo ra rose is invading the pastures. The products that are being used are Crossbow, Ally, Round up, Banvel, and Spike. Each pro duct was applied according to the label directions and calculated out for a per l>ush charge and a per gallon mixed charge. This is the cost that was discussed: Rat* grass forage and pasture herbi cides given in the Penn State Uni versity Agronomy Guide were also discussed.
