DHIA Committee weighs insurance for testing equipment
Lancaster Farming reports the DHIA committee proposes insuring the testing equipment worth about 4000 dollars, not just the milk meters. Insurance would cost about 80 dollars per year, seen as too costly. They consider insuring the building and contents instead while testing program losses are noted. Robert Hess cites a nine month state loss of 76 herds, blamed on cost pressures rather than program quality. New committee chairs are named for tester award, banquet, program, and auditing tasks.
