John York Speaks at
Eastern Milk Banquet
The Eastern Milk Producers
Cooperative held its banquet at
the Blue Ball Fire Hall last
Friday night, with John C. York,
general manager, as speaker.
Alfred Wanner, who was
elected district director last year,
reported that farmers should pay
close attention to the quality of
the milk they produce. Trying to
get questionable quality milk sold
hurts the industry. Farmers
should make the consumer want
milk. Wanner said.
He particularly urged that the
best quality milk should be made
available in the schools because
the milk drinking habits formed
by school children will be im
portant for the future of the in
dustry.
He noted the drop in milk
consumption in the past 15 years
and said lack of availability is a
key reason for the drop. Milk

York, the major cooperative’s
general manager, described
work in other local areas to show
the role of Eastern. He said
Eastern has often found a market
for the farmer’s milk when his
local dairy went bankrupt.
He described the cooperative
as a cheap form of insurance for
the farmer. For six-tenths of one
per cent of the total value of milk
produced by the average farmer
Eastern insures a market for
milk, York said
He noted that the average
farmer in the New York milk pool
produced 1,100 pounds of milk a
day, at a price average of around
$6 per hundred, this milk is worth
$6O a day, or about $22,000 a year.
The average producer pays only
$l4O .a year to his cooperative to
protect this $22,000 investment,
York said.

York stated, “There’s never
been a farmer who’s been a
member of Eastern who did not
get his blend price or have a
market for his milk.”
