Ag Official Sounds Off on Dairy Health
York County attorney and former state representative Mrs. Jane Alexander spoke at Lancaster County Dairy Day urging stricter dairy controls. She warned that animal indemnity funds will be exhausted as large herds are depopulated and discussed a possible shift to herd-wide removals and new rules on indemnity for cows added after trouble was notified. She supported seven day milk dating but questioned mandatory destruction of older milk and urged continued sanitation and cooperative work with milk inspectors.
