attaining realistic formula pric
ing.
For the past several months
and extending through April,
1969 the milk price of $6 73 per
cwt. has been set by decree of
Secretary of Agriculture Orville
Freeman who retires from that
post on January 20 This emer
gency action was taken because
„ prices would not have been suf
ficient under present formulas
to provide dairy farmers with
adequate income for their milk
In marketing areas of the
Northeast, Eastern has advocat
ed adoption of an escalator type
formula that would keep pace
with other segments of the econ
omy. It would be based on such
factors as Wholesale Commodity
Price Index, Prices Paid by
farmers for production items,
and net per capita .disposable In
come for the area.
Under the Eastern formula,
Class I price for May, 1969
would be $7.31 per cwt. m both
the New York-New Jersey and
New England markets
If no changes are made and
pricing reverts back to the ex
isting formulas, the Class I price
would drop 63 cents below pres
ent price after April 30. Such a
drop would be a death blow to
many dairy farmers, would crip
ple many local economies and
would be harmful to consumers
because of lowered milk sup
plies, maintain leaders of East
ern.
