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

Javits Speaks Out on Agricultural Plight
terpart to the Cost of Living
Council which only reflects upon
consumers’ costs.
“With regard to the present
level of food prices, it should be
noted that figures available from
the United States Government for
the period 1961 to 1972 provide the
