The order sets the minimum prices, based on supply and demand, that milk dealers or handlers must pay for milk purchased from individual dairy farmers or from dairy farmer cooperatives. The recom mendations concern the timing of the payments. Specifically, the recommendations would fix the 19th day of the month as the date by which cooperatives must receive payment from handlers at applicable class prices for milk delivered during the previous month. Halnon said presently most processors who buy milk from cooperatives must pay the cooperatives by the 15th of the month. Processors who buy milk from individual producers, however, need not pay for it until the 25th of the month. Cooperative representatives' testifying at the hearing urged that this 10-day dif ference be reduced to 6 days.' Another amendment would change the dates for making payments to and from the producer-settlement fund, from the 18th and 20th, respectively, to the 21st and 22nd of the month. Other hearing proposals to require handlers to make partial payments to cooperatives and producers, and to advance the date for final payments to producers, have been denied, based on the hearing evidence. Recommendations on the proposed amendments appeared in the Dec. 6 Federal Register. Comments may be filed, in four copies, until Dec. 21, with the Hearing Clerk, USDA, Washington, D. C. 20250, where the public may review them. yom Omen U * rtevt* 1 a I i iwc-l “‘Zb-eyPmt" "'Jtjkpci' R.D. 4 MYERSTOWN, PA. 17067 CALL COLLECT 717-866-5708 POWER INTERNATIONAL series 0£ tractors Wthepro-ag line Traditional IH power.
