may The 10 cents per hundred pounds of milk hauling charge currently being levied against thousands of dairy farmers in many areas of the New York-New Jersey milk market may be eliminated, it was learned recently. Eastern Milk Producers Cooperative has announced that it will take immediate steps to remove the extra fee maugaurated during this year’s period of surplus milk production. Because of a change in marketing con ditions, Eastern believes the hauling charge is no longer necessary. John C. York, General Manger of the 8000 dairy farmer-member co operative, issued the statement from Eastern’s Syracuse, N.Y. headquar ters following a meeting of Eastern’s Board of Directors on September 17. Hauling charge for milk be eliminated for NY farmers President Arden Tewksbury of Meshoppen, Pa. confirmed that Eastern’s Board had passed a resolution designed to alleviate the problem and immediately schedule a senes of meetings throughout the effected areas explaining the cooperative’s program. Supplies of milk are dwindling to the detriment of consumers, York noted. He observed the receipts of milk had dropped nearly 4 percent in August 1975 compared to a year ago and by a whopping 4.6 percent from July to August this year in the New York-New Jersey market. Football players and school teachers, for example, have been suc cessful in realizing monetary gams by witholding their services. However, dairy farmers, engaged in the critical business of producing food for this nation, have been unrewarded in their attempt to work and meet their costs of producing milk, York charged. Agriculture, including milk producers, will disappear from the American scene and the general public will be the loser without proper in centives for farmers to continue in food production, stressed the Co-operative leader. Eastern contends that milk must be priced at the farm in all Federal Milk Marketing Orders of the Northeast, the same as it is priced in the New York-New Jersey market, minus the hauling charge in question, to preserve the integrity of the Federal Order Program and protect the dairymen from pricing chaos, York commented. “If dairy farmers are denied u fair return for their efforts and Investment, they could be forced to wlthold milk from market to gain that position to which they are entitled,’’ predicted York.
