Walker added, though, that he expects this year's bill to get a much more sympathetic hearing by the Congress. Donald Hershcy, president of the Lancaster County Farmers Association, a PFA affiliate, told Walker that the organization favored an economic formula for milk pricing to replace the present system. Federal order prices for milk are currently determined by the Minnesota-Wisconsin series which depends on the price of butter. Hershey explained that in order to raise milk prices now, the U.S. Department of Agriculture must first hold public hearings, and even if an increase is allowed, it is always several months before the increase can be made effective. PFA’s proposed economic formula would take into account four main factors: the ability and willingness of the consumer to buy; the cost of producing milk; alternative op portunities for the farmer to 25th Year Open House At Stauffer Diesel, Inc.

Under the proposal, prices would be adjusted up or down on a quarterly basis, rather than annually as they arc now. Yost also told Walker that the group would like the Congressman’s support in backing a recommendation made Monday by Secretary of the Treasury William Simon. Simon recommended to President Ford that the U.S. impose countervailing duties on cheese imported into this country from European Economic Community countries.
