New England Order dairy farmers
approve transport adjustments
NEW YORK - Dairy
farmers operating under the
New England Federal Milk
Marketing Order have ap
proved amendments to the
Class I - or fluid-use - milk
price structure of the order.
The amended order goes into
effect Dec. 1.
In a U.S. Department of
Agriculture (USDA) poll of
dairy cooperatives, the
amended order was ap
proved by more than 76 per
cent of the farmers sup
plying the market, ac
cording to Herbert L. Forest,
dairy official with USDA’s
Agricultural Marketing
Service.

One major change, Forest
said, increases the rate of
plant location adjustments
to reflect increased costs of
transporting milk from the
production area to city
bottling plants. These ad
justments are added to the
“Class I” price which
handlers pay and the
“uniform” price which
producers receive.
Another change divides a
simple pricing zone into
several zones. The division
of the present zone, made up
the Connecticut,
Massachusetts, and Rhode
Island, reduces prices m a
westerly direction.

HIGH PRESSURE PUMP
Forest said a third change
reduces the order’s Class I
price by a limited amount.
This change, he said, will
provide a better coor
dination of Class I prices
that are applied at southern
New England plants and
plants in nearby eastern
New York, which are under
the New York - New Jersey
milk order. Handlers under
the two orders have
overlapping sales areas in
New York.

order may be obtained from

is 65. The agitating propeller
is 22 inches in diameter and
attached to the end of a Xl-Vz
foot boom so it can reach far
out mto the pit. The operator
backs his tractor up to the
storage area and drops the
propeller through the crust.
When engaged, the rotating
propeller sets up a sub
surface flow that erodes the
underside and edges of the
crust to thoroughly break up

bedding and dried manure.
Continuous flow and direct
contact with the spinning
propeller soon turns the
crusty mass into useable,
valuable slurry that is easily
picked up by the spreader.
A heavy-duty “foot,”
attached to the propeller end
of the arm, protects the
blades from damage should
the unit strike the bottom of
the pit or lagoon.
