PROGRAM — FEED AND FERTILIZER 



GOAL 



Upgrade analytical laboratory procedures on chemical analysis 

 of official samples obtained for feed and fertilizer, in order to 

 determine if manufactures gtiarantees are met. 



OBJECTIVES 



To continue surveilance on manufactured processes, so errors 

 in techniques may be pointed out to management which may adversely 

 effect product quality. 



ACHIEVEMENTS 



Greater emphasis was applied to inspection of plants and a 

 better balance of sampling was achieved by fieldmen, as fertilizer 

 sampling was increased and feed sampling reduced to balance out the 

 number acquired for laboratory analysis and equalize services to 

 the trade. 



Greater enforcement of the feed and fertilizer laws was im- 

 plemented to see that labeling requirements were met and manufact- 

 ered products meet the guarantees made by the manufacturers.
