Promotion Is Essential To Farm Income
Farmers increasingly see research and advertising as investments to raise profits and reduce losses. Dairymen, through the American Dairy Association, have funded research and ads for over 15 years, extending set-aside periods from June to include July and, in some states, the entire year. Advertising creates demand, while research ensures the offerings meet need. milk dispensers and vending machines have boosted milk use and sales, helping to address surpluses. An open letter from Ingelside Nebraska thanks supporters of a local flower sale for Chapel for Patients of All Faiths. The piece commends co chairs, captains, and volunteers for community spirit and substantial contributions.
