'Getting the Facts on COPD' On Tuesday, April 3, pul- monologist Dr. Sohail Qa- dir will present "Getting the Facts on COPD" at Cul- len Medical Profession- als in Washington. As part of Memorial Hospital and Health Care Center's free, public HealthMatters se- ries. COPD, or Chronic Ob- structive Pulmonary Dis- ease, is a serious lung dis- ease which makes breath- ing difficult. Also known by other Regulations could increase food costs for US Paying more for food may not be out of the question for consumers if regulations on the U.S. poultry and live- stock sectors increase. In fact, consumers could pay up to $16.8 billion more an- nually for meat, milk and eggs if regulations are im- posed on U.S. poultry and livestock farmers that raise input costs by 25 percent. The Consumer and Food Safety Costs of Offshoring Animal Agriculture, a re- cent soy-checkoff-funded study, evaluated current U.S. supply and demand for poultry and livestock prod- ucts and the impact of reg- ulations on retail price. The study indicates that poten- tial regulations could raise consumer costs.

Something newsworthy? Give us a call— 354-8500 housing for laying hens would increase the cost of eggs from $1.68 to $2.10 per dozen, a total cost of $2.66 billion per year to U.S. con- sumers. "This could have a big im- pact on everyone—it's not just that dozen eggs you and I buy at the grocery store," explains Vanessa Kummer, a soybean farmer from Col- fax, N.D., and chair of the United Soybean Board (USB). "As Americans, we have abundant, nutritious and affordable food choices that rely heavily on protein from animals, and, as farm- ers, we continue to work hard on improvements be- cause we share consumers' concerns for our country's land and resources, and the quality of America's food." The report cites in- creased regulations that could drive up costs of pro- duction meat, milk and eggs by anywhere from 10 per- cent to 25 percent. It shows that a 25 percent increase in costs to animal agriculture would reduce U.S. exports by $1.1 billion and cause nearly 9,000 Americans to lose their jobs. "U.S. agriculture leads the world as a global pro- ducer and exporter of ani- mal products, and we need that to continue," adds Kum- mer. "The poultry and live- stock sectors not only sup- port the U.S. export market, but also make our economy stronger here at home by creating jobs and tax reve- nue." The most recent statis- tics compiled by the soy checkoff show the poultry and livestock sectors sup- port 1.8 million jobs and generate more than $283 billion for the U.S. econo- my. USB is made up of 69 farmer-directors who over- see the investments of the soybean checkoff on behalf of all U.S. soybean farmers. Checkoff funds are invest- ed in the areas of animal utilization, human utiliza- tion, industrial utilization, industry relations, market access and supply. As stip- ulated in the Soybean Pro- motion, Research and Con- sumer Information Act, US- DA's Agricultural Market- ing Service has oversight responsibilities for USB and the soybean checkoff.
