Milk Testimony
Is Favorable
At Memphis
“Cooperative unity requires
cooperative courage too, and we
aie glad for the sake of produc
ers in the Northeast that East
ern’s testimony received such
favorable consideration at the
Memphis hearing, and that
Class I milk prices not only will
drop after April 30 but will
actually be increased in the
three main marketing areas of
the Northeast.”
In speaking for the board of
directors, Irvin Schell, presi
dent of Eastern Milk Producers
Association, stated Thursday
that the Department of Agricul
ture has rendered a decision to
boost Class I prices by 28 cents
per cwt over existing prices in
each of the areas.
As a result the New York-
New Jersey Class I price has
been boosted to $6 39 from the
present $6 11.
Prices in the Mass -R I -N H
Order will be boosted to $6 67
compared to the present $6 39,
and prices in the Philadelphia
Marketing Area will be boosted
to $6 93 compared to the present
$6.65.
“It is well to remember,”
pointed out Mr Schell, “That
Eastern and 20 cooperativ e
groups affiliated with it had the
courage to stand alone from a
group of cooperatives, associa
tions, and federations talking
‘cooperative unity’ and stand up
for what it felt was best for
dairy farmers. We did not feel
we could make concessions to
national dairy groups and hurt
farmers of the Northeast by do
ing so.
“Eastern went to the Memphis
hearing and asked that the pnbe
level not be allowed to drop af
ter April 30 In addition we con
tinued to recommend that the
$6.80 Class I price be adopted
in the New York and Boston
markets because we feel this is
a realistic price for dairymen
based on today’s costs
"Other co-ops in the Northeast
went to the hearing asking for
$6 29 in New York and $6 39 in
Boston It is certainly note
worthy that increases of as
much as 28 cents per cwt would
never have been granted if the
government had not been con
vinced by our testimony that
dairymen desperately needed
this kind of an increase.
“It is also well to remember
that Eastern was the only co
operative association whose
testimony was accepted at the
hearing Testimony by Dr Stew
art Johnson, s p e a king for a
group of cooperatives known as
the New York - New England
Dairy Cooperative Coordinating
Committee, was objected to and
was not even allowed to be en
tered as testimony at the hear
ing.
"We are thankful for the good
of our members, and other
dairymen in the Northeast, that
we were able to represent all
producers in the territory with
