Letters to the Editor Editor, Lancaster Farming “I didn’t know I ate the whole thing”. Peter Sandfort’s recent “letter to the editor” reminds me of a marksman shooting at a “bull’s eye” on a target using a shotgun loaded with scatter shot. Man, he hits everything but what counts; he talk all over and doesn’t group his shot. He con fuses me rather than helping me understand milk pricing problems. He is president of a chain of stores, not farms. He is talking against the God-fearing, hard working, disciplined, over sacrificed dairy farmers of Pennsylvania. He talk about Class I price and farmers receive a blend price. He talks as if controlling “price cutting” by dealers was easy and it is the most difficult law to enforce in our nation. He talks about cheap milk in New Jersey and not about the $1,000,000 Pennsylvania and New jersey dairy farmers lost last year plus a New Jersey dairy cooperative that dissolved. These farmers took it on the “chin". (I really mean - in the pocketbook.) Look ahead, Mr. Sandfort, and see it happen - destroy the marketing tools that took dairy farmers 30 years to construct. You see, sir, I own a farm, too. I lived in western Pennsylvania, northeastern Pennsylvania and southeastern Pennsylvania.

Why don’t you ask what it costs to produce quality milk, process and distribute it in the Philadelphia-Ghetto-Suburban areas by a full service dealer 7 Peter, do you sell milk to schools or hospitals? You really don’t do you 7 Who will end up with the loss of income to the dairy industry? Ask Penn sylvania, New Jersey or Delaware dairy farmers. Sir, are you really trying to help farmers relate to consumers or are you trying to develop a “loss leader”, using the best “traffic builder” for your own profit builder for your own stores 7 That’s really what you want, isn’t it, sir 7 You only sell milk in a jug Right, sir’ My father left school in the third grade, sir, to work on the home dairy farm in western Pennsylvania. Is that sacrifice, Mr Sandfort? Kill the “goose”, Mr. Sandfort, or don’t you read anything but milk marketing stuff 7 “I didn’t know I ate the whole thing.” rsr LANDISVILLE, PA. 898-2261 Boyd C.
