"We want to make this the buy er’s night” Grim said. Reservations are required. Con- (Contlnued from Pag* A 10) Well, our dairy fanners manage and care for herds of animals which provide a large food supply to this country. According to our government, it is okay for those involved in the so-called support businesses to charge more than enough for their livelihood (ie. “what the market will bear”). These costs have more than doubled, even quadrupled, in the same amount of time (fifteen years +) that has seen no increase in the price received for the raw milk, thus leaving the dairy farmer financially strapped. Today, what the government is doing to the American dairy farmer by drop ping the amount paid per 100 wt of milk is like asking the average consumer to go to the bank and tact Fred Rudy, Dauphin County extension agent, for reservations and information about the banquet, at (717) 921-8803. take money out of his own savings account in order to get paid on the job. We can talk about the injustices in the labor forces in China and the 3rd World Countries etc., but we have only to look in our own backyards on the dairy farm and at the paltry compensation paid to the farmer and set by our own U.S. government. Serious consideration must be given to this situation by those who have been placed in the posi tion of responsibility. Taking on meaningful action is as criminal as taking deliberate irresponsible action. Linda Petto Hawley Carl Kuester Honesdale
