Ing, Saturday, November 12, 1994 WASHINGTON, D.C. The format for the annual meeting of Egg Association of America (EAA) was roundtable discussion, presentation on a major issue, and required business. “That reflects our overall poli cy of emphasizing business over politics,” said Mac McLaurin, EAA president. “We’re interested in getting issues on the table, get ting related input from as wide as scope as feasible, and then finding the most effective and efficient solutions.” During the roundtable discus sions, participants identified the most important issues facing their companies and the whole egg industry. Topping the list were some perennial favorites such as food safety, environment quality, animal welfare, egg market, bur densome government regulations, and egg consumption. Compared to past meetings, more emphasis this time was placed on disposal of spent fowl, a perception of decreasing USDA influence (especially related to food safety), and the negative psy chology associated with several market reporting mechanisms. Some participants took the time to suggest ways to meet some of these challenges, such as acting rather than reacting, adding value to their product, and taking advantage of opportunities in egg products. The guest speaker, Dr. Joy Mench, an associate professor and researcher from the University of Maryland, spoke on the changing public attitudes toward animal welfare. She distinguished protests by extremists such as PETA from growing public concern about how agricultural animals are treat ed. She pointed out that chief pub lic concerns today are “beak trim ming, forced molt, caging (both stock and design), transport and slaughter.” Mench drew an interesting par allel with evolving attitudes about use of laboratory animals and changes in the law related to treat ment of animals. She applauded EAA’s efforts to be more proac tive in this area. Outgoing chairman Andy Wadsworth said, "... we need to spend our time concentrating on what your needs are going to be .. in the coming years .... Egg Asso ciation members have been on the leading edge in our industry because we aren’t bound by our old paradigms (‘we’ve always done it this way,’ mentality). We have to look' at new ways of doing business, develop new attitudes about who we are in business for (the customer), and promote our- EAA Meeting Reflects Philosophy selves, as well as our products. The Certified Egg Producer pro gram is a great start .... I’m as excited as ever to be a member of EAA, to be a part of a group of my peers that loves the egg busi ness (most of the time), wants to be successful, and supports the breakthrough concepts that come FARM EQUIPMENT HOPIDA ENGINES Replacement Power You Can Trust GlOO 2.2 HP $228.00 Gxl2o 4HP $283.00 Gxl6o 5.5 HP $290.00 £1x270 9.0 HP $484.00 Gx39o 13 HP $573.00 Gx6lo 18HP $886.00 Gx62o 20 HP $992.00 All Unite* Hava “Oil Alert” Except 2.2 HP Postpaid Pa.
