One is under the “special class” that includes Canada’s WTO commitment. The other is a sepa rate export class that is not pool ed with the other classes and is duced 15 of these through the Brandt’s flushing and embryo transfer program.

A highlight for Holstein Night visitors was the chance to partici pate in judging three classes of Brandt-View cows: 2-, 3-, and 4-year-olds. The contest offered divisions for youth, men, and women interested in testing their judging skills. The official judge was Tom Harkenrider, director of young sire procurement at Genex and speaker for the eve ning. Sharon Arnold, Myerstown, and Paul Miller, Harrisburg, placed at the top of the field in the adult judging contests. Youth winners were Elizabeth Smith, Lebanon, ages 14-and-under divi sion, and Jake Spatz, Lebanon, ages 14-18. not managed by the Canadian government. Producers can contract directly with a processor each month for milk destined for the export mar ket. Normally a producer would only do this if they expected to exceed their quota in a particular month. Producers aren’t going to make much under the export class, since it only fetches the ■ world price, around $B-$lO per 100 pounds of milk. For Canada, the key issue is that a producer is contracting di rectly with a commercial processor for exports. So, they would argue, this milk is not subsidized and should not be subject to WTO ex port limitations. The Canadian system of quotas, milk classes, and government involve- ment in pooling of milk revenues is changing rapidly. The government is turning over much of these tasks to the provincial governments. This is in response to the WTO case with the U.S. MARTIN’S TIRE & ALIGNMENT Traction Field & Road 13.6x28 6 ply $195.00 18.4x30 6 ply $345.00 18.4 x 38 6 ply $365.00 20.8x38 8 ply $510.00 MARTIN’S TIRE & ALIGNMENT MEMBER FDIC We’re Your Firestone Farm Tire Dealer!
