Unity Among Dairy Cooperatives
Urged To Get Bargaining Power
Bargaining power in the dairy
business can best be achieved by
developing unity among the var
ious milk maiketmg coopcia
t'ves, a Connecticut dairyman de
clared at the recent Dany Herd
Management Conference at The
Pennsylvania State University
Louis P. Longo, who manages
a 230-cow dairy operation in
Glastonbury, Connecticut, said
“there are too many voices speak
ing for the dairy business Oi
ganizations need to band togeth
er and speak the same language.
Cooperatives can’t afford to com
pete against one another when
selling the same product ”
The dairyman, president of the
scored well were September 29,

“Dairymen themselves must be
willing to finance then own milk
marketing programs." Longo
emphasized. “The avciago dairy
man with a $200,000 farm invest
ment only contributes about 1,-
300 annually foi product adver
tising “
He explained that only one
milk marketing cooperative ex
ists in Connecticut and all mem

milk Incentive programs en
courage farmers to develop sy
stematic production patteins,
thereby, creating an even flow of
milk duung all months of the

“Militant action oi dumping
milk,” Longo said, "has been a
failuie in attempting to establish
bai gaming powei. It has only
seived to divide danymen.”
Commenting on business pim
ciples that should be applied to
modern dairying, Longo stated
that the opeiation should have
an admmistiative structure
which is similar to that used by
industry
One man, he said, should be m
chaige of each of the phases of
the business and all hued help
should have the financial secur
ity that today’s industry offers.
