Dairymen to
Vote On Milk
Promotion
A statewide referendum on
Jan. 12-26, will determine if
dairymen are willing to support a
milk promotion program at the
rate of five cents on every one
hundred pounds of milk sold.
Ballots will be mailed to all
21,500mi1k producers in the state.
Cooperatives will be eligible to
use bloc votes for Pennsylvania
members, however, individual
members may choose to vote
alone, in which case their vote
will be deducted from the
cooperative’s bloc vote.
If the promotion program is
approved, dairymen will be
assessed at a rate of five cents
per hundredweight of milk sold.
Based on 1971 production figures,
this would mean eligible
dairymen in the state could
support a $2.5 million program,
annually.
Producers paying into a federal
milk marketing order promotion
program would be exempt from
the state program. Dairymen in
the southeastern part of the state
currently pay into a federal
promotion program.
