The Susquehanna County dairy farmer noted that while the consumer’s price increased some 40 per cent since 1967, the cost of milk production in Southeastern Pennsylvania increased over 80 per cent “Consumers are especially benefitting from a price that has not advanced nearly' as' much as-have prices of other food com modities,’’ said Tinklepaugh, “or the con sumer price index that has increased 102.9 per cent.” In 1967, the consumer price index was 100. At the end 0f1978, it was 202.9. This means that con sumers today are spending $202.90 for the same things that were purchased iri 1967 for $lOO.
