A26-Lancaster Farming, Saturday, August 8, 1998
PATTON (Cambria Co.)
Young Cooperators from four
states recently participated in
the Pennsylvania Council of
Cooperative’s (PCC) annual
Young Cooperative Leaders
Conference held at the
Allenberry Resort, Boiling
Springs. Thirty attendees from
Pennsylvania, New York, New
Jersey and West Virginia
enjoyed three days of fellowship
and learning, lead by a team of
former YCL participants, coop
erative and industry leaders,
and ag education personnel.
Conference objectives includ
PDA
(Continued from Page A
If breeding stock is
valued at $4OO per ani
mal by the industry, as
opposed to, for exam
ple, $5O per animal at
market value, the differ
ence is significant to the
breeder who could suf
fer large losses because
of die government’s ina
bility or refusal to ack
nowledge the additional
value in breeding stock.
When the issue was
raised during the com
mission meeting, it was
said that when and if the
need for condemnation
and idcmniflcation is
apparent, that the state’s
consulting pscudorabies
committee that
includes many represen
ta ti ves of the
industry will be
called upon to help
make those decisions.
The accuracy of the
testing used was also
questioned during the
commission meeting,
and it was reported that
the tests seem to err
more on the side of a
false positive, which
means that an additional
confirmation test would
be needed to ensure that
a producer is not being
required to depopulate a
herd wrongly.
For more specific
information, contact the
PDA, a veterinary pro
fessional, or an industry
representative.
