ting tools and interaction of the
seminar participants.
The second result of the first for
um has been the organization of a
professional dairy farm managers
group to exchange ideas and deve
lop skills. To date, the group is
small and loosely organized. But
plans call for expansion of the
group as direction is established.
Since the objective of the origi
nal Pennsylvania Dairy Industry
Future Committee was to encom
pass the entire dairy industry from
farm to consumer, suggestions for
the second forum indicate the need
to focus on consumer needs and the
limits that may prevent manufac
turing plants and distribution sys
tems .to function in the Common
wealth. The final direction of the
forum is still to be decided, but it
can be said that everyone agreed
the forum must conclude with
action goals for the next year or
there will be no third forum. Work
is being done to arrange the forum

at the same time the new dairy
research facility at Penn State is
dedicated.
Various topics were discussed at
the planning meeting this week, all
related to the concern that the dairy
industry may not remain a viable
enterprise in Pennsylvania even in
the near future.
Of course, the usual concerns
about the diminishing number of
farms and the cost/price squeeze to
the farmer were expressed. The old
line about producers becpming
more efficient has about run its
course in many farmers’ minds.
Many believe they are already
about as efficient as they can get
But the concern reaches deep
into the distribution chain as well.
Right now. a major supermarket
chain is faced with changing state
regulations that may force it to buy
milk outside of Pennsylvania to
meet competition.
Many such questions remain:
• “Why can supermarket chains
buy milk cheaper outside of
Pennsylvania?.

Plan Next Forum
eet To
• “Why don’t manufacturing
plants want to build in
Pennsylvania?” ,
• “Who speaks for Pennsylvani
a’s dairy industry when a united
voice is necessary to attract indus
try or develop markets?”
In the end, there was a lot of
impatience with just talking.'lt’s
time for action to bring all seg
ments of the dairy industry and
maybe even other enterprises into a
united front for Pennsylvania agri
culturc. Action! Now!
Immediately!
And the next action will be a for
um in June at Penn State to decide
what next action to take.
