Groundwater Protection “It covers physiographic regions and their aquifers, identifying land uses and contaminant flow paths that impact aquifers, and how to develop a community groundwa ter protection action group,” says Martin, who wrote the video’s script. This video is aimed at water supply officials, public educators, cooperative extension personnel, municipal planning officials, school children and older stu dents, and community special interest groups. Technical advisers for the pro ject included Paul Robillard, asso ciate professor of agricultural engineering; William Sharpe, pro fessor of forest hydrology: and Charles Abdalla, associate profes sor of agricultural economics and co-director of the Pennsylvania Groundwater Policy Education Project. “The Case of the Mysterious Groundwater,” the first video in the series, is a 16-minute Sherlock Holmes spoof. “It explores the mysteries of our hidden ground water supplies and puts ground water myths ‘in the slammer,’” Martin says. The third video, “Groundwater Protection Action Groups: A Roadtrip to Success,” takes a road trip with the fictional Riley family as they learn four ways to make a groundwater protection action group successful. The final video in the series, “Private Well Construction in Pennsylvania: Setting the Stan dard,” explores why proper well construction standards are essen tial to safeguarding private water supplies.

In addition to Maryland and Virginia’s home office and mar keting division in Reston, Va., the association has three other divi sions to serve members. Marva Maid, the cooperative’s fluid pro cessing arm in Newport News, Va., is one of the leading market share holders in the growing Tide water region of Virginia. The cooperative’s milk is sold under the Marva Maid name and as pri vate label product Marva Maid, built by Maryland and Virginia in 1962, recently expanded cold storage capacity on its original site and annexed an adjacent warehouse to keep up with product demand. Maryland and Virginia’s Manu facturing Division, commonly called “Laurel,” produces butter, nonfat dry milk, and condensed milk for customers across the country and around the world. The plant located in Laurel, Md., is one of a handful of facilities across the United States that makes and packages butler for I .and O’Lakes. Nonfat milk solids and condensed milk are processed at Laurel and end up as ingredients in such foods as bread, baby for mula, candy, and ice cream.

As well as provid ing value-added dollars for Mary land and Virginia members, the division acts as a balancing plant for many milk processors in the region. The associations’ equipment division is operated as a service for members. Members can pur chase farm and dairy iteiqs from the equipment warehouse in Fre derick, Md., or from a route truck that visits member farms periodi cally. Division savings are allo cated to members at year end as a percentage of their total purchases. In addition to providing an avenue for collective marketing for its members, Maryland and Virginia also joins with other milk marketing cooperatives in various federations and associations for marketing, promotional and politi cal strength. In addition to financial reports, members also applauded their peers who celebrated SO to 75 year anniversaries with the association. Families celebrating 75 years were Mehrle H. and Thelma H.
