Inter-State claims
solid past and future
LANCASTER - Goal
setting and thorough
planning have enabled Inter-
State Milk Producers’
Cooperative to avoid
problems recently facing
dairy cooperatives in the
Northeast, according to Dr.
James E. Honan, Inter-
State’s general manager.
Dr. Honan, in his address
before the delegates at
tending Inter-State’s 61st
annual meeting, named
several of the goals “which
have been helpful in guiding
us to where we are today”.
“For some time you have
been aware of the annual net
savings goal of $500,000,”
said Honan. This goal has
now .been increased to
$750,000 for the current
marketing year.
“Some other goals of the
cooperative which are being
achieved are; good quality
milk, continued service to
your buyers, a sufficient
supply of milk to have a
meaningful marketing tool,
long-range planning as in
dicated by the QC Inc. and
Holly Milk decisions and a
management training
program to provide a con
tinuation of good em
ployees,” said Honan.

Honan cited Inter-State’s
recent long range planning
project, known as the
“Committee of the Whole,”
as one example of the type of
planning essential for such a
cooperative to keep current
with the tunes.
The findings of Inter-
State’s Committee of the
Whole were presented to the
membership in the form of a
booklet entitled “Planning
for Tomorrow” which
outlines the recommended
goals in the following four
areas; long term financing;
Inter-State’s relationship
with Holly Milk Cooperative
and QC Inc.; Inter-State’s
relationship with other
cooperatives and
organizations; and the ef
fects of various alternatives
of federal milk marketing
control.
Honan cited the part
nership Inter-State formed
with Maryland Cooperative
Milk Producers to establish
Holly Milk Cooperative, a
surplus manufacturing plant
near Carlisle, as an example
of the “kind of interaction
which might be one of the

approaches to be used to
achieve more unity among
dairy farmers m the Nor
theast.”
“I have never felt more
comfortable about the
picture I see for Inter-State’s
future,” said Dr. Honan,
“Inter-State is well
organized, well financed,
with good able employees, a
strong policy-making board
and understanding, loyal
members.”
He charged the delegates
that the decisions they are
about to make “must
support and enhance our
ability to move into the
future”.

cooperative based in
