Proud to be serving American Agriculture
president of the Penn Marva
Association, gave a report on
the future prices for milk
and noted that prices “had
been at an all time high this
winter.”
Martin noted that the
January base price was
110.96 for a 3.5 test milk
which averaged $2.08 above
the price in the same month
last year.
“Our advertising cam
paigns have worked,” the
official explained, “as there
has been a five percent in
crease in Class 1 sales over a
year ago.”
The Interstate producers
also learned that the
February price for Class I
milk would be about $11.86 -
the highest ever.
Keynote speaker for the
day was Dr. Earl Cook,
director of the Quality
Control Laboratory in
Southhampton.
Cook related the need for
strict cooperation between
the producer, hauler and
buyer to curb outbreaks of
disease related to raw milk.
“Problems from milk have
lessened quite rapidly over
the past years,” he noted,
“but we still must
the best' methods of
sanitation and cooperation.”
Cook labeled
pasteurization as the “best
insurance policy” against
disease and pathogens in
milk. “Pasteurization has
really helped in getting good
milk to our consumers.”
“The process is costly, but
is needed if we are to retain a
good image.”
The quality control
director praised Interstate’s
members for having
exhibited outstanding
records of high quality milk

but cautioned against
becoming lax in everyday
duties.
“Be sure that equipment is
in good running condition
and is able to handle your
needs,” Cook advised.
“Don’t wait until this
summer to add milk house
equipment when you can see
it may be needed now.”
Cook repeatedly warned
the producers about using
growth inhibitors without
proper handling of the milk.

“I! a cow is treated in one
quarter, then you had better
hold all of her milk,” he
stated. “The misuse of drugs
can cause serious problems
for everyone and it is better
to lose a little milk now, then
all your milk for a long
time.”
Cook ended his remarks by
telling the producers to
protect themselves and
others by "locking
