efforts to increase imports of but

on the heels of a recent resolution
by its board of directors to oppose
imports of butterfat from countries
which pay subsidies to their pro
ducers.

Farm Bureau Opposes Increased Butter Imports
Butter prices have increased
nearly SO cents per pound over the
past two months to over $1.98 per
pound. This has resulted in higher
butterfat differentials and a higher
Basic Formula Price for dairymen.
The International Dairy Foods
Association, a Washington,
D.C.-based association of proces
sors. manufacturers, marketers,
distributors and suppliers of dairy
foods, has asked USDA Secretary
Dan Glickman to increase from 13
Penn State To Provide Material
visible retroreflective marking
materials and high performance
fluorescent markings for trac
tors and implements.
The improved materials meet
the newly revised safety stan
dard of American Society of
Agricultural Engineers.
Under the previous ASAE
standard, fluorescent material
had to have no discoloration dr
cracking after a year of exposure
to the south Florida sun. The
new standard has increased that
standard to two years.
“Fluorescent material aids
million pounds to 40 million
pounds the amount of butter set to
enter the United States this year
under reduced tariffs.
“American dairy farmers have
been told repeatedly in recent
months that they need to learn to
adapt to the market,” said PA
Farm Bureau President Guy Don
aldson in a letter sent to Pennsyl-"
vania’s congressmen.
“When one element of the mar
ket begins to work in their favor
daytime visibility,” said Dennis
Murphy, professor of agricultur
al engineering. “But fluorescent
materials don’t last forever.
Fluorescent dyes decompose
from light and moisture and the
colors will fade over time. The
material’s ability to reflect light
also will lessen as the material
decomposes.
“Retroreflective material
reflects the headlights of oncom
ing vehicles at night,” Murphy
said. “Retroreflective material
holds up much longer than fluo
rescent markings. However, the
new retroreflective markings
are nearly 10 times brighter for
nighttime visibility than mark
ings currently in use. The new
materials can be seen from a
mile away, compared to a few
hundred feet for earlier signs.
The program offers three dif
ferent types of kits at reduced
cost: a regular kit at $11.50, an
extremity kit for equipment
with extended booms or other
wide attachments at $8.65, and
a buggy kit at $17.35. The pro
gram also offers three types of
leg wraps for tne horses starting
at $13.25. Contact your county
farm bureau or county office of
Penn State Cooperative
Extension for ordering informa
tion.

we shouldn’t be rushing to change

Congress by Rep. Blunt states,
“Prices for dairy products will
continue to fluctuate in accord
ance with the law of supply and
demand. The government should
not alter policy in response to
these price adjustments. We be
lieve that the best policy for con
sumers and dairy farmers would
be to maintain the status quo.”
