State Grange Warns About Milk Prices
warned today.
“In the first seven monUis
of this year, 1.9 percent less
milk was produced than in
the first seven months of
1973,” said A. Wayne
Readinger, state Grange
master. "And,” he pointed
out, “last year’s milk
production in the United
States (115.6 billion pounds
or 53.7 billion quarts) was
the lowest for any year since
1952.”
This trend was evident
four months ago, he said,
when the Grange warned
that “American consumers
could be facing a serious
milk shortage if existing
production trends continue.”
At that time, before
drought hit the Midwest,
conditions indicated U. S.
farmers would produce
bumper crops of grain for
feeding dairy cattle,
livestock and poultry.
Now the outlook is for a
feed grain crop about 15
percent smaller than last
year’s.
“In the space of a few
months, Readinger said,
“we have gone from the
promise of record yields to

the threat of shortages.”
In evaluating the impact of
the drought earlier this
week, State Agriculture
Secretary James A. McHale
stated that “The American
consumers in the next couple
of years will face shortages
of beef and dairy products
and a continued inflation of
food prices. One bad harvest
year and this trend could be
magnified.”
There is reason to be
concerned, Readinger
pointed out, for future milk
supplies and prices.
“Of course we must
recognize,” he said, “that

American people may ap
preciably alter the demand
for milk. And we must
realize that total milk
production must be related
to all uses of milk - for
cheese and ice cream
manufacturing for cake
mixes, for cooking and other
purposes, as well as for
drinking.
Pennsylvania consumers
may be more fortunate than
those in many other sections
of the nations, Readinger
said, since there is legal
machinery available in this
state to help control
inflationary milk prices.

The Pennsylvania Milk
Marketing Law, Readinger
stated, provides that the
Milk Marketing Board “shall
fix, by official order, the
minimum wholesale and
retail prices and may fix, by
official order, the maximum
wholesale and retail prices
to be charged and received
by milk dealers or handlers”
in the Commonwealth.
“It means,” Readinger
declared, “that the Milk
Marketing Board is em
powered by law to take
action against runaway milk
prices.”

The field day was spon
sored by the agronomy and

departments at the

along with the Cooperative

Council. Co-chairmen were
Dr. Ross and Dr. John R.
