LANDISVILLE (Lancaster Co.) —Benefit to growers was the key factor in decisions awarding nearly $llO,OOO in 1998 Pennsyl vania Soybean Board research grant funds last month, according to PASB Chairman Mike Gcr hardt. “The board funded eight differ ent projects addressing areas of grower concern,” said Gerhardt, “from burcucumber management Dairy Ingredient Marketing Adds Value ROSEMONT, 111 - A new marketing campaign to promote food technologists' understand ing and usage of nonfat dry milk and dry whey, funded by the dairy checkoff program, has been launched. The new $3 million effort, themed Do it with dairy™, posi tions these two key dairy ingre dients as value-added compo nents in both existing and new food formulations. "Dairy farmer-funded market research identified nonfat dry milk and dry whey as a priority growth opportunity for the dairy industry,” said Bill Haines, vice president, Business to Business Marketing, dairy Management, Inc. , Research from the American Dairy Products Institute shows the use of nonfat dry milk in mixes and blends has been growing at a compounded annu al r,atq of 45 percent ls92 to 1996. Dry whey usage in mixes and blends has increased at a compounded annual rate of nearly 13 percent during that same period. "While awareness of dairy based ingredients is universal and usage levels are high, we still can provide more informa tion on the versatile functionali ty of nonfat dry milk and dry whey to encourage greater use," said Haines. "Every penny per pound increase in the price of whey alone translates in a five to six-cent per hundredweight increase in the value of milk." According to Haines, these dairy ingredients are vital com ponents in a wide range of food products, including dairy, baked goods, meats, confections, bever ages and snack foods. Angus Breeders thousands of people making genetic decisions,” he said. “If we as the beef industry are going to supply cattle and enhance the beef industry, we are going to change the genetics so the product we produce will have the highest value possible.” Wallace said in order to change genetics, each individual breeder must first look at the five major traits of economic importance. Those traits include birth weight, growth, milk pro duction, fertility, and carcass traits like marbling and retail product. Once these five traits are considered, breeders will need to use some type of index ing system to select bulls on an economic-value basis. Pa. Soybean Board Awards $llO,OOO Grant Funds and controlling white mold on soybean crops to evaluating profit and yield potential for food grade and organic soybean varieties for Pennsylvania growers." The Pennsylvania Soybean Board awarded $109,382 in 1998 grant funds to production research and market development projects at its annual spring grant meeting in Lancaster. The farmer board, which collects checkoff funds on "The integrated marketing program now in place also will provide dairy ingredient tech nologies to food manufactures to build demand for nonfat drv milk and dry whey," said Haines. "It's readily apparent there is a strong market for highly functional ingredients backed by helpful technical sup port. Therefore, we are offering extensive assistance to food technologists via a technical support hotline, targeted adver tising, newsletter, technical white papers and immediate dis semination of ingredient infor mation upon request. Our goal is to meet and exceed the market place requirements by providing information and much-needed education on dairy ingredients." Middle Atlantic Milk Marketing Association (MAMMA) and Pennsylvania Dairy Promotion are the local planning and management orga nizations, ‘ funded '< by dairy farmer dollars, respbnsible for increasing demand for U.S. - produced dairy products on behalf of America's dairy farm ers. They work closely with Dairy Management, Inc.™ to implement dairy promotion, education and research pro grams nationwide. Since the national dairy farmer checkoff program began in 1984,diary promotional orga nizations have helped to increase total dairy sales by approximately 200 billions pounds - a 29 percent increase - more than USDA projections.

(Continued from Page C 2) Wallace has developed a for mula, which he calls the “Power Score,” for computing an index on bulls. He adds the birth, weanling, yearling, and milk expected progeny differences (EPDs) percentiles and divides them by four. The bull with the lowest number has the best power score. Using carcass data, Wallace has developed a new carcass power score. This formu la adds the percentile rankings for both marbling and percent retail product, which is then divided by two “Sire selection in both the purebred segment and commer cial segment will become more important than it has in the past,” he said. soybeans sold in the state, also ad ministers those funds, overseeing a variety of production research projects, market development work, and promotion and educa tion projects aimed at improving the picture for soybean growers.
