Eastern Officials Meet with Peterson
Officials of Eastern Milk
Producers Cooperative met in
Washington, D. C., with Ed
Peterson, Administrator of the
continuing efforts to obtain milk
price improvement for the
distressed dairy farmers in the
Northeast.
John C. York, Eastern’s
General Manager, joined
president Francis Cole of Ilion,
N. Y., and director Max Lonstein
of South New Berlin, N. Y. and
Joeseph C. Mathis, Eastern’s
Economist, in presenting sup
plemental argument to Eastern’s
petition, calling for higher Class I
(fluid) prices in the five federal
milk marketing orders of the
Northeast. They urged the USDA
to give favorable consideration to
Eastern’s proposal and a hearing
as soon as possible.
In discussing the need for
higher prices to dairy farmers,
Eastern’s officials noted the long
range shortage of milk which is
predicted for the Northeast area.
One reason given for this dismal
outlook was the continuing
exodus of milk producers
because of sky-rocketing
production costs. Another was
the decline in cow numbers
because of poor harvests and a
lack of feed and roughage In
crease in production per cow has
slowed to the point where
production no longer offsets the
loss in cow numbers.
‘Milk handlers are ex
periencing difficulties in meeting
Class I commitments,” stated
York He further commented,
“Dwindling milk supplies for
fluid purposes has created
exorbitant handling allowances
and forced milk dealers to pur
chase milk powder from
California to bridge the gap.” A
handling allowance is the price
paid for milk by dealers over the
minimum Order Class I price.
Much of this money is finding its
wa} to speculators instead of into
the pockets of distressed dairy
farmers

Washington meeting was that the
