The Pennsylvania dairy industry is the envy of many states due to natural advantages and close markets. It directly supports thousands of farmers and agri businesses through feed and supply chains and milk distribution. Dairying ranks second to steel as a state income producer, with substantial job creation and tax contributions at state and local levels.
Dairying is costly and high risk, needing land buildings equipment and animals. Labor costs rise as the dairy market relies on state and federal milk control for stable prices. Political changes to milk price structure threaten confidence and could harm farmers and consumers alike.
The piece argues that farmer profits may shrink if Milk Control is lifted, risking smaller dairies and doorstep deliveries. It notes Pennsylvania’s high rural poverty and calls for protecting family farms while considering broader marketing changes and potential price shifts.
Lancaster Farming reports its contact details with Advertising Director Robert G Campbell and Managing Editor Zane Wilson. Subscription price set at $2 in Lancaster County and $3 elsewhere. Published weekly every Saturday from Lititz and Lancaster offices.
Farmers are urged to isolate or carefully manage new or show animals to prevent disease. Stress from transport, feed changes, and new surroundings can trigger illnesses. Check for parasites like body lice and stomach worms, sample feces, and ensure proper ventilation and insulation to reduce condensation and improve air quality.
A 1972 sermon argues that tragedy is not God’s will and urges seeing illness as a foe to be overcome. It cites Jesus healing, notes he did not reject non Jews, and asserts God wills wholeness and health. The piece cites outlines from the National Council of Churches and Community Press Service.
