Are they ack nowledging that this was a dis count system? What precipitated such a change of heart? Could it have been from some producers mark eting large numbers of hogs out side the area? Editor, Dear Folks, Thanks so much for your won derful paper. It sure has a lot in it and I realize that is a teal chal lenge for a weekly paper. My hus band reads a lot of it. I love your articles on the people and families. So nice and refreshing. So upbeat and positive.

This tells me Hatfield believes, my hogs are worth less than hogs from other areas. Add this amount ($5-7) to your bottom line and some of us exporters (out of state marketers) will maybe start selling hogs to Hatfield again. Lawrence Mummau East Waterford media and their negative report ing. So many good hard working families out there. I also enjoy recipes. I am a Lancaster County girl transplanted to Perry County. Keep up the good workl Jean Weller New Bloomfield
