Dairy supports raised
WASHINGTON, DC - Secretary of Agriculture Earl I.
Bull has announced that the support price for manufacturing
milk will be increased to $8 26 per hundredweight on October
1,197 C This level of support is estimated to be 80 per cent of
parity on this date
The decision to increase the support price was made after
a review of the dairy price support situation. On March 3,
1976, when the support price for manufacturing milk was set
at $8.13 per hundredweight, effective April 1, it was an
nounced that the support level would be subject to quarterly
review and adjusted if necessary to assure an adequate
supply of milk The support price of $8.13 per hundredweight
was continued in the second quarter as a result of the
quarterly review.
The support price of $Bl3 was 80 per cent of parity on Apnl
1 and July 1, and the increase to $8.26 will assure that the
support price for milk will reflect recent changes in the costs
of feed, equipment, wages, energy, and other farm costs. The
Secretary noted that the increase was necessary to protect
the productive capacity of our nation’s dairy farmers, many
of whom will have greater than normal costs of production
this winter because they have been forced to feed their hay
supply as a substitute for pasture during this year’s drought.
The Secretary stated that the higher support will have only
minimal effect on retail prices of milk and dairy products

because prices of most dairy products are already above the
new support level.
The price Commodity Credit Corporation will pay for
butter will increase five cents and the price for Cheddar
cheese will increase two cents in order to carry out the new
level of support for milk. The purchase price for nonfat dry
milk will not be changed.
The purchase prices of butter and Cheddar cheese reflect
the increase in the support level as well as an allowance to
reflect increases in the manufacturing costs of all dairy
products. Although the purchase price for nonfat dry milk
was not changed, the increase in the purchase price of butter
will defray the increased cost in the butter-nonfat dry milk
operation resulting from improved packaging for nonfat dry
milk which may result from new packaging specifications
being developed.
