The Rural Voice, 1981-11, Page 19the complete picture sometime this month
but Brent says there will be just ten or a
dozen producers who could have pro-
blems.
"Most of those people are just simply
lousy housekeepers," he says. "They
should all meet the standards with no
trouble if they just make up their mind.
But it requires some discipline."
Brent says the cost to meet Grade A
standards should be minimal for most of
the Group 11 producers. "My dad always
said it costs less to keep things clean" he
says. "and 1 think that if the premises are
cleaned daily and consistently the costs
have to be minor."
Brent also says he and his field staff
are not looking to shut off producers. They
would rather work with them to help them
meet the standards, increase their quotas
and improve their operations.
Brent believes they're all playing in the
same game. The OMMB and OMAF are
simply providing the rulebook.
We made a mistake...
The gremlins at Rural Voice have once
again changed a name in the typesetting
machine. Most everyone in Huron County
knows that George Underwood's
youngest son is John, not Jim (page 21,
Oct. /81). Nevertheless, we apologize to
the Underwoods for this error.
