Farmers have
comment on
LITITZ The public has
until August 18 to comment
on the level of price support
for milk for the 1980-81
marketing year which
begins October 1, said
Deputy Secretary of
Agriculture Jim Williams.
Williams said USDA also
is asking for public comment
on the prices and terms of
purchase by Commodity
Credit Corporation of butter,
cheese and nonfat dry milk.
Current law requires the
milk price support be
established at between 80
and 90 percent of parity on
October 1 each year. USDA
estimate the
minimum level of support
(80 percent of parity) will be
$12.73 per hundredweight on
October 1 for milk of 3.5
percent butterfat content.
This would be an increase
of 66 cents over the support
price which became ef
fective on April 1. It could
result in a 5 to 6 cent-per
gallon increase in milk
prices at the retail level
Other matters pertaining
to the milk support program
on which USDA may make
decisions and on which the
public may comment are.
