—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, October 16,1971 28 LANCASTER FARMING ADS PAY Minor Amendments Listed for Northeast Milk Orders Amendment of four Northeast federal milk marketing orders, after approval by the required two-thirds of dairy farmers af fected, was announced recently by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. They are the Boston Regional, New York-New Jersey, Middle Atlantic and Connecticut orders. A 1 Nixon, vice president, Pensupreme Dairy Products, Lancaster, said none of the changes announced by USDA’s Consumer and Marketing Service are major. The changes include: Starting October l, each of the orders will use a uniform Class II designation for half-and half and some other milk and cream mixtures, now classified differently under the orders. Nixon said this is intended to put the orders on equal footing by eliminating discriminatory inter order competition. Another change substitutes the Chicago butter price for the New York City butter price now used to adjust producers’ pay prices for butterfat content Nixon said the primary point here is that under classes I and II in Eastern orders, the butterfat . differential of 3.5 per cent has been based on the New York quotation; under the new procedure, the quotation will be based on the Chicago quote, which is broader based. While the Chicago quote normally is slightly lower than the New York quote, the difference is so small that farmers won’t notice it on their checks, Nixon said. Also, the Middle Atlantic order has been changed to exempt from pooling and pricing milk shipped from plant operated by a government institution plant to a plant regulated by the order for custom processing, packaging and return in the same amount to the government plant. Nixon said this has very limited application and was drawn up for a Pennsylvania public in stitution. The changes are based on a public hearing March 30-31 and April 1 in New York City.
