Fatter Milk Checks

have traditionally had a higher proportion
of their milk in the class 1 utilization
category.
The milk dealers have challenged the
milk board’s action in court. If the court
rules that the price increase granted by the
board was illegal, then the danes could, if
they wished, continue to pay the old $7.27
price. A spokesman for local dealers,
however, said that his company, at least,
would be paying producers the full $8.19
class 1 price, and he expects that all other
local dairies not in the federal order will do
the same. The dealers' quarrel, he pointed
out, was with the milk board for not
granting a price increase to dealers. He
said dealers recognize the need for a price
increase to farmers, and they're willing to
pay it.
The 92-cent increase to farmers was
called "helpful, but not a bonanza” by
William Pierce, an ag marketing specialist
from Penn State. Pierce said the price hike
will bring Pennsylvania prices more into

(me with federal order prices, but it won’t
make up entirely for the increased
production costs which resulted from
skyrocketing feed prices in recent months.
Pierce said, though, that feed prices
should be coming down by the end of the
summer and into the fall, especially if the
nation and the world experience a better
growing season than last year. A poor
season in the U.S., along with a disastrous
crop failure in Russia, combined to push
feed costs for American farmers up, Pierce
said
An interesting sidelight to the retail price
increases by dairies has been a swelling of
business at local jugging operations.
Juggers, selling milk at an average 90-cent
to $l.OO a gallon, say they’ve been selling
more milk to more people. Some customers
have severed long-standing ties with home
deliverymen to carry their milk home in
cartons plastic bags, and returnable
bottles.
