State’s Outstanding Dairy Farmers

The outstanding young dairy couple in the State of Michigan for 1967 are Larry and Marilyn Richardson of Rives Junction.

They were picked in a contest that is sponsored annually by the Michigan Milk Producers Association.

The Richardsons farm 600 acres with 70 milk cows near River Junction. There are active citizens of their community as well. They have one daughter, JoAnna, 6 years old.

Larry, who is 35 shares the ownership of the farm with his father, William, although the elder Richardson is no longer actively farming. The family has held membership in the MMPA since before Larry was born.

Besides school and church activities, Marilyn Richardson helps with the farm chores if and when needed.

The Outstanding Young Dairy Couple are active in many farm organizations besides MMPA, and Larry has been a director, vice president, and executive vice president of the Jackson Jaycees. He was Jaycee Outstanding young farmer for all of Jackson County and runner up in the state several years ago. He is also a Mason.

The top young dairyman is taking part in the Kellogg Farmer Study Program of Michigan State University, a unique three-year program aimed at helping young farm leaders develop as leaders of the community at large.

The Richardsons will represent MMPA at numerous functions throughout the coming year. Alternate couple picked after evaluation of top dairy couples from throughout the state are Stanley and Sarah Gill of Ypsilanti.

Last year’s outstanding couple were Mr and Mrs Gordon Fuerstenau of Richmond.

Judges for the 1967 selection were MMPA Director Owen Betz of Marshall. MSU Professor Donald Murry, and Richard Karelse, of the Michigan Department of Education.

ROMNEY REPORT

It has been said that the true measure of a society is how well it treats its elderly citizens.

Judged by this standard we have reason to be proud of our state.

Through a series of programs this Administration has made Michigan one of the leading states in the nation in assistance to the elderly. We have gone a long way toward making it possible for those who have helped build the state in the past to continue to live in the dignity.

For example, we have removed from the old age assistance and the medical assistance programs provisions which had required the elderly to give a lein on their homes in order to get help. In the same manner, the limit on the market value of an elderly person’s home was eliminated from consideration in determining his eligibility for assistance.

Ceilings were removed from the amount of aid an elderly person receive under the old age assistance program.

In addition, the Commission on Aging has helped 37 communities to establish councils on aging and has provided technical assistance to 31 communities regarding housing for the elderly. The Commission also has funded 17 projects designed to provide services to the elderly.

Two years ago, we obtained passage of legislation which provided tax exemptions on the homes of the elderly who are living on fixed, low-level incomes.

Last year, Michigan became one of the first states to take advantage of federal legislation which permitted establishment of state Medicaid programs.

Unfortunately, there has been a great deal of misunderstanding about the services available under this program.

Those most in need – old age assistance recipients, the blind, the disabled, and the dependent children – now are having their medical needs met by the programs. Direct payments are made for hospitalization, nursing home care, drugs and medicines prescribed by a doctor, and the physician’s services in a hospital, nursing home, a patients home or the doctor’s office.

As a result, about one quarter of a million Michigan citizens who are most in need are no longer faced with the distressing choice of using assistance payments for needed medical services or other needed services, such as housing, food and utilities.

This is an enriched program. But it is not all we would like to do.

Unquestionably, other people living on restricted incomes also need additional medical services.

However, the ability of the State to provide such services under existing revenues makes the issue not one of philosophy but of living within the state’s income, just as the elderly are forced to live within their incomes.

If we are to provide services to additional persons – those designated as medically indigent – we will need additional revenues to pay for these services.
