Also, the future of the price of milk and demand for milk products lunges on what happens regarding bovine somatotropin (BST), which is filled with a “lot of basically unanswered questions,” said Dever. “There are some people out there that don ’t necessarily believe that technological changes are always a plus,” he said. “There are people out there that believe certain technological changes are a minus, and that we should do things differently than we are now.” Regarding the use of BST, Dever said ADC realizes “we don’t have a biology problem, we don’t have a mastitis problem, we don’t have a production problem, or a pricing problem. What we have is a marketing problem, and we’re still dealing with that” Because of the marketing prob lem, regarding how BST is consid ered by the consumer (which is “defined,” he said, as a female, age 18-34, with 2.2 children), ADC sent out a letter in April 1993 urging members not to use BST.

An old red bam in the National Building Museum’s Great Hall will be the cen terpiece of BARN AGAIN!, an exhibition about the his tory and symbolism of bams in America. The exhibition, organized in collaboration with the National Trust for His toric Preservation, will open at the museum on March 17. To introduce visitors to bams, the BARN AGAIN! exhibition will begin by exploring the history and con struction of bams across America. The bam in the museum’s Great Hall, measuring 30’x44’, will serve as the entryway into the exhibition. Inside the exhibit, the visitor will be able to examine bam mythology and nostal gia; how social, political, and economic developments affected bams; the various uses of bams; and the future of traditional bams. BARN AGAIN! will incorporate models and parts of hams to illustrate how bam construction and design is lied to ethnic heritage and changes in the agricultural industry. Contemporary and historic photographs, plans, and post ers will be presented to show how new bam types, con struction techniques, and materials were promoted. Exam ples of farm equipment will be included to illustrate how changing farm practices have had an impact on the form and function of bams. The bam as a cultural icon will be explored through an array of popular objects including advertisements, catalogues, art works, movie stills, toys, video films, and food containers. The museum’s bam, from a farm in Eaton Rapids, Michigan, was scheduled to be tom down by its owners because it was no longer safe or cost effective to maintain it. The exhibition, which opens during National Agricul ture Week (March 14-20), will remain on display through September 11. A variety of public programs will complete the exhibition, including a bam raising in the museum’s Great Hall on Saturday, March 12, and Sunday, March 13, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. The bam raising will culminate with a traditional bam dance on Sunday, March 13, from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. Also scheduled to take place throughout the six month run of the exhibition are workshops where visitors can create such items as weathervanes and hex signs; a day-long bus tour of farms in Lancaster County, lectures; and films.
