Extractions: North Dakota Extension Service The number of new agricultural processing cooperatives, either under development or in operation, has grown rapidly in the Northern Plains. These new generation cooperatives (NGCs) are structured differently from the more traditional elevator and farm supply cooperatives. NGCs focus on the processing and marketing of agricultural products, rather than marketing raw commodities or supplying agricultural production inputs. Cooperative members are required to provide raw commodities for processing through marketing contracts. The amount each member is allowed to deliver is tied directly to the number of equity stock shares which are purchased. The total number of equity shares, and related contract delivery rights, is limited to the amount needed for the cooperative's financial stability and peak processing efficiencies. The combination of direct equity investment in the cooperative, and the related commodity delivery rights and obligations, has made the NGC membership decision more complex. These aspects also have raised several interesting questions about the differences in attitudes, perceptions, and characteristics between agricultural producers who have become members of the new cooperatives and those who have not.

Extractions: On August 11, New Yorkers for Responsible Lending (NYRL) submitted a letter to New York's 10 representatives on the House Financial Services Committee. The letter called on the Reps. to oppose the Ney-Kanjorski bill (H.R. 1295), which would roll back existing federal and state anti-predatory lending protections, and to support the Miller-Watt-Frank bill (H.R. 1182) which would strengthen federal anti-predatory lending laws and in no way preempt state laws, such as New York's Responsible Lending Act.

Extractions: In 1984 New York State United Teachers successfully lobbied the New York State Legislature to pass Section 316 of the Education Law. For the first time a New York State law established a governing structure that gave teachers control over an important aspect of their professional lives, their professional development. In the ensuing years a network of over 125 teacher centers have provided on-going consistently high quality, cost effective professional development for thousands of educators in our state. The purpose of this Information Bulletin is to highlight the structure and governance of teacher centers, and to emphasize NYSUT's commitment to teacher centers as an important provider of professional development services. As districts implement new federal and state regulations that impact the professional work of teachers including Professional Development Plans (CR 100.2d), Annual Professional Performance Review (CR 100.2 O), and new mentoring and certification requirements, teacher centers have become more important than ever.
