Order 2 producer decline slowed
NEW YORK, N.Y. -
According to the New York-
New Jersey Milk Marketing
Area’s annual report,
released recently by Federal
Order 2 Market Ad
ministrator Thomas A.
Wilson, dairymen are
leaving the Order at a slower
rate than in recent years. In
fact, producer decline is
reported by Wilson to be the
smallest since 1940.
Both the numerical loss
and the percentage decline
slowed dramatically, says
the report.
The average numbers of
producers in the pool totaled
18,820 in 1977, 508 fewer than
last year. This was the
smallest decline since 1940,
the first complete year the
Orders were in operation.
Declines registered for the
previous years in this decade
ranged from 867 to 1,752
producers. More

per cent compared to rates
of 4.1 to 7.1 per cent in the

total in December 1977.
The number of handlers in
the pool showed a great
variation from month to

was larger only in May and
September and the same in
October. The average for
1977 declined to 109 or six
