said. “We lost 10 points on Class
I utilization in the last three
years, and that wiped out any
net gain we received in higher
Class I pi ices.”
The Class I price is for bot
tled milk, Class II puce is foi
milk used in manufacturing and
the blend price is the combina
tion of the two puces in icla
tionship to the peicentage of
each Class used in a given mar
ket.
To gain back the lost points in
blend prices, Inter-State is pro
posing a change in the base
plan from the present July to
December base making period
to an August to December base
making period. They are also
asking for reimbursement for
co-operatives from the pool or
marketing order for services
performed that benefit the en
tire market.
Speaking of the recent join
ing of the Maryland-Virginia,
Maryland and Inter-State Co
operatives, Hand said the three
organizations are remaining in
dividuals but are combining ef
forts in situations where they
are in competition with each
other or where combined re
sources is needed against out
side competition “We have seen
a- steady decline in milk dealers
buying milk and as plants close
larger plants serving a wide
area emerge Producers must
get together under such a situa
tion,” Hand said “You can’t
have several farm groups bid
ding against each other in the
same market.”
County Agent M M. Smith,
told the dairymen that forage
testing of silage and hay does
not cost, it pays, and cautioned
farmers to control parasites in
their cattle. “If you are raising
livestock in this area, you pro
bably have some parasites,” he
said They can cut production up
to 20 percent.
Boyd Gaitley, Director of
Public Relations, gave a pre
sentation on milk promotion
and Walter Clan Martin told of
his experiences as a 1969 young
coopei ator
In the election of officers,
