The Louisiana State University Agricultural Center tells us it is important to understand the types of open dates used on food packages. Two are most prevalent, the epull date and the euse-b- y date. Pull date or use-b- y date... This is the last day the product should be sold or remain on the grocers shelf. Milk, yogurt, cottage cheese, sour cream, and other fresh dairy products bear this date. Most supermarkets use a pull date on fresh meats and fresh bakery items, as well. This date is designed to give the consumer a reasonable amount of time to store and use the product, even ifit is purchased on the pull date. If handled and stored properly, milk may last five to seven days after the pull date. Use-b- date... y This would seem to be the most straightforward date to date use, but even the euse-b- y doesnt mean a product is unwholesome or unsafe after that date. It tells you how long the processor thinks the product will be at peak quality. Foods are not high quality one day and bad the next. It does mean the product may have lost some of its quality because of the extended storage period. Processors want you to use the product at its peak of quality so you will buy the product again. Many products are labeled with a euse-bdate. Some of these products include dry cereals, canned biscuits and breads, bakery products, dried fruit and some canned foods. Expiration date... These products are yeast, and dry and liquid pectin. After the date, the food is not unsafe, but y Correspondent Do sheared from the sheep?

Actually, the open date is usually considered an indication of freshness. Freshness guides are use- s Where does milk come from? apples grow on trees?

This is the actual date the product was manufactured, processed or packaged. Fresh meat sometimes is marked this way, but most markets use a pull date on meats. A pack date is not very helpful to consumers who dont know the shelf life of thousands of different items. Another problem with a pack date is that it tells the consumer only when the finished product was packaged, and nothing about the specific age of each ingredient. The pack date can help retailers rotate stock and help consumers use the oldest packages first. Pack dates are not as common as epull or euse-b- y dates. To use open datinG effectively: Check the label. When pur- chasing a food, read the label to see ifit is open dated. If the package is past that date, notify the store. Do not place the product back on the shelf for someone else to purchase. Do not sort for the freshest products. Sorting for the freshest products defeats the whole purpose of open dating and efirst in, first out stock rotation. Unless the package and contents have been badly damaged, a product within its dating period should retain acceptable quality though normal home storage. Buy only what you need and will use within a reasonable time. Check your own shelves and rotate the stock. Learn what the open date means. Remember, the product does not automatically drop in quality when it reaches the date on the package. Also, lower eating quality does not automatically mean reduced safety. Some food past its marked date can save money for those who are willing to accept lower quality at a reduced price. farmers use computers?

The students were participants in the annual Farm Field Day held at the Kenison Farm. The event was sponsored by the Juab County Farm Bureau Womens Committee. Upon arrival at the Farm, the students were gathered to watch a sheep shearing demonstration. Craig Poulsen sheared a sheep as Mike Mann taught the students about the sheep industry. He explained why it was necessary to shear the sheep and what happens to the wool. The students learned more about the sheep industry as they looked at exhibits in the Utah Wool Growers trailer. The students were then divided into small groups. The groups rotated through 8 different stations. Ray Rowley taught the students about fruits. They learned about pollination, diseases, and care of fruit trees. The students were able to take a blossom apart and see what part of it would become an apple. The students tried dried cherries, dried apples and apple slices. The students learned about grains and the many products that are made from grains. Jeff Banks explained that bread, cereals, popcorn, and crackers are 000 gDCx SHEARING SHEEP Craig Poulsen demonstrates how sheep are sheared to the 4th graders only a few of the foods that are made from grains.
