The last five weeks, whether
because of economic recovery, die
soaring real estate market, or simp
ly the bad weather, {vices have
been good with strong sales “right
across the board,” he said.
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.

final decision on whether BST will
be used.
“If she believes that BST repre
sents technological advancement
and has no problem with the pro
duct, then I will guarantee that
BST will be as common on the
farm as artificial insemination,'’
he said. “If she believes that BST,
though, is a threat to those 2.2

vine and not be a viable benefit.”

Barn Again Exhibition
WASHINGTON. D.C. 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.
For additional information call the National Building
Museum’s Public Affairs Office at (202) 272-2448.
