While fanners may prefer to look out their windows and see only farmland, their neighbors who come from cities often feel uncom fortable if there are less than IS homes surrounding them. Based on personal experience, Schwartz said that he doesn’t mean to be sexist, but men seem to be more tolerant of noises and smells than wives and it is the wife who generally spearheads efforts against farmers for smells and nusiances. “Little gestures mean a lot tow ard keeping peace in changing SAT.

An attractive farm gives the message that that bad smell can’t be coming from there but from the unkept farm down the road. Plant grass buffers between fields and road to prevent soil runoff. Schwartz encouraged commun ity involvement and developing good public relations to form friendships. “If you portray a hard-headed, I was-here-first, and don’t-complain-with-your-mouth full attitude, I guarantee WWIII,” he said. At the same time, farmers need to be supportive of each other and form alliances by showing up at zoning hearings.

However, he is concerned that amonia amounts go up during cer tain phases of thccomposting. Stu dies are being conducted to control the amount by adding cardboard, hay, and other substances. Because it’s $30,000 and too early to tell how that investment will last, Pitts said that it is impos sible to advise whether or not the investment is worth it Fly control is being experi mented by using the Maytown bee tle, a predator of fly larvae. Studies show that the fly problem greatly decreases when chickens are molted and this may be the best time to spread manure so that it won’t upset the neighbors. Leon Ressler gave an update on nutrient management and water use registration, which had been reported on in previous articles in this paper.

In the past 10 yean, eggs sold through retail sales have dropped one percent, but liquid eggs sold through food services increased. Bright spots for the future is that egg products, specialty egg. and export markets are growing. Far mers are encouraged to look into these options for selling eggs. Specialty egg markets include nutritionally altered eggs, organic, fertile, welfare managed, and spe cial diet eggs. Prices for specially eggs have been noted as high as $4.38 a dozen compared. Exports are up for both shell and egg products. With European markets concerned about egg safe ty, the frozen, dried and liquid egg market offers growing export potential. The highest shell exports are made to Hong Kong, Middle East, and Canada. The highest exports of egg products go to Japan, Mexico, and Canada. “Remember a one percent change in domestic supply can mean a five percent increase in retail prices,” Patterson said. Milk $15.69 cents from the previous month, and the Class m-Aprice increased 85 cents. The April 1997 Class I and Class II prices and the Febru ary 1997 Class 111 price are based on the February 1997 basic formu la milk price of $12.46 per hundredweight at a 3.S percent butterfat content. The February 1997 butterfat price was $1.09 per pound, up 21.74 cents from January. The February skim milk price per hundredweight was $9. The USDA reported that the wholesale price of Grade A butter at Chicago for February was 98.46 cents per pound on the mercantile exchange and the Central States nonfat dry milk price was $1.1491 per pound.
