“The following excerpt was
taken from a statement which I
introduced before the Senate
Agricultural Committee on
March 15,1973, reflecting on the
matter of food prices:
As long as American con
sumers were able to get cheap
food, they had money left over for
other things—costly automobiles,
expensive clothes, color
television, stereophonic in
struments and vacations over
seas. But this style of living could
not be expected to continue in
definitely, certainly not at the
expense of the farmer. The
population of the world is
growing and the amount of arable
land is more or less fixed. A
greater output can only be ob
tained at an increasing cost.
The average American
farmers has a huge investment in
his farming operation; yet his

Lancaster Farming. Saturday. Ai
income has been very low. The
'average net income per farm in
1972 was $7,000. One must ask
then, if the interest on the money
invested in the farm were
allowed for, would there be
anything left to reward the
farmer for his labor and the labor
of his family?
I ask another question: is it not
about time that the urban con
sumer recognize the fact that the
farmer is also entitled to a just
return for his labor and capital?
A British labor leader was quoted
recently as having said, ‘We no
longer have the divine right to be
cheaply fed.’ One could wish that
American labor leaders could
show the same comprehension.
The United States Department
of Agriculture currently
establishes milk prices at the
farm level by Federal Milk
Marketing Orders. Eastern Milk
Producers Cooperative has urged
the Federal Government to call a
hearing to enable fanners to
introduce evidence upon which
an 88 cents per hundredweight or
two cents per quart increase in
Class I prices would be granted.
>ri! 7.1973
Such minimal improvement in
the income of dairy farmers is
urgently needed and past due if
we are to sustain a viable in
dustry in the Northeast.
“In light of milk supplies
shrinking, farmers cannot keep
abreast of costs. Consumers must
respond to increased food costs
unless they want to grow beef,
milk cows and harvest crops in
their backyards to sustain the
quality and quantity of food that
is required of farmers to produce
today in the United States.
“It is regretable that farmers
are responding to the food
boycott by withholding their
product from the market.
Nonetheless, this weapon is one
that is currently being used and
may require greater application
if more orderly means of im
proving farm income cannot be
achieved.
