Dairylea president slams CNI pricing proposal
York, New Jersey, Penn
sylvania area and the 1200
members of Allied
Federated Cooperatives,
Rutherford noted the
proposal would permit milk
processors to mix water with
non-fat milk powder and sell
the resulting product as
reconstituted milk, to
consumers. They would not
report the amount of powder
used to the Federal Milk
Market Administrator for
purposes of calculating the
minimum price paid to
fanners.
“If the CNI proposal
prevails,” said Rutherford,

worth of U.S. wheat/wheat
flour, $19.0 million worth of
feed g. ms (com), and $7.5
million worth of upland
cotton.
The supply period 'is
calendar year 1980 for these
commodities.
Kelly Harrison, general
sales manager for the U.S.
Department of Agriculture,
said the first amendment to

“the American consumers
will fmd on the shelves of our
food stores the lowest
quality, poorest tasting
product that can legally
advertise itself as ‘milk.’ It
is characteristic of a com
petitive market that when a
cheap, lower quality product
appears, everyone is
compelled to produce it and
■eventually the best quality
products are squeezed opt of
existence.”
Milk producers in the
Northeast from Mame to
Maryland face a drop in
income of $2Ol million
and 22,000 bales of upland
cotton.
The amendment increases
the overall export market
value of the agreement with
Korea to $70.0 million.
The new commodity and
dollar levels are 214,000
metric tons of wheat/wheat
flour valued at $31.8 million,
164,000 metric tons of feed
grains valued at $18.6
million, and 57,000 bales of
upland cotton valued at
$19.6 million.
All other terms and con
ditions of the agreement
remain unchanged.

This, he said, is an

Rutherford also told the
committee that milk is more
than food. Milk means jobs
and commerce. The milk
industry nationally is the
sixth largest manufacturing
industry in the nation. U.S.
jobs that directly br in

The three cornerstones of
the nation’s dairy industry
are Federal Milk Marketing
Orders, the price • support
program, and cooperatives,
he pointed out.
“These three are totally
interwoven,” said
Rutherford. “Without them,
we would not have the supply
of fresh, wholesome dairy
products which the
American public now takes
so much for granted.”
