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.
