—Lancaster Farming, Saturday. April 7. 1973 46 Northeast dairy industry leaders met with U. S. Senator Jacob Javits of New York at the Country House in Syracuse, N. Y. on Monday, April 2, to discuss the plight of agriculture in the Northeast. John C. York, general manager of Eastern Milk Producers Cooperative in troduced the following statement: “The United States Depart ment of Agriculture and' the White House are in serious need today of sound direction with regard to agricultural policies and food prices. We are hopeful that Senator Jacob Javits 1 can and will provide legislative leadership for farmers of the Northeast in directing food and farm prices. “The fundamental law of supply and demand is being ignored by the United States Government today as it applies to agriculture. Farm costs, which have no controls, are rapidly increasing and cutting into the production of agricultural commodities. “In the Northeast, milk sup plies are down four to six percent below additional demands on the production of food commodities. “In reply to a telegram sent by Eastern Milk Producers to the President of the United States and Secretary of Agriculture Earl Butz on March 11, 1973, urging the President not to place price controls on agricultural products or to import foreign agricultural commodities, the Department of Agriculture, on March 28, said among other things—‘Today agricultural policies increasingly stressing the necessity for farmers to realize their income from the market.* On the following day,President Nixon announced placing a ceiling on beef, pork and lamb Such action was contrary to the announced policy of the Department of Agriculture and the President’s March 15th press conference. “If producers are to realize their increased costs of product out of the marketplace, there cannot be ceilings on what the marketplace will pay to the farmers for these products. It is unfair for farmers to be sub jected to ceilings on the items that they sell with no ceiling on the cost of the items they must purchase to produce the raw product We are certain the Secretary of Agriculture Earl Butz, being a good agricultural economist, fully understands the law of supply and demand and what affects supply and demand. We feel that he is currently placed in an untenable position. “On January 16,1973, Eastern Milk Producers announced the desirability of establishing an Agricultural Cost of Production Council. We commend Senator Javits and his efforts to require the development of such a Council A Cost of Production Council would give balance and bring to the policy-making bodies of the White House the far mers’cost problems as a coun- ERTH-RITE SEA-BORN ALGIT ZOOK & RANCH, INC.
