Lehigh YP sounds call
for dairy organization
ALLENTOWN “History
has clearly demonstrated
that dairy farmers need to
belong to an effective dairy
organization,” suggests
John C. York, Vice
President, Member
Relations, Lehigh Valley
Farmers.
The past three decades
have demonstrated that
dairy farmers have
repeatedly found themselves
left without a secure milk
market. Milk companies
after milk companies have
Lancaster Fannins, Saturday, August 30, 1980—€29
exited from the milk
business for one reason or
another. Thousands of
farmers were dropped and
left without a milk market
and many never recovered
the money for the milk they
sold when bankruptcies
occurred.
The reason for such
happenings can be traced to
many factors. In fact, the
reasons may differ as bet
ween various parts of the
country, the market, or by
company for these failures,
York said.
The future clearly in
dicates a constant trend
toward the growth of milk
marketed by cooperatives
across the United States.
The Northeast will follow
this same pattern and it
appears that the Northeast is
on the brink of an ac
celeration in this direction,
he said.
The Fanners Cooperative
Service, a branch of the
United States Department of
Agriculture, suggests
sweeping changes in the
structure of dairy industries
by 1985.
They predict a volume of
milk marketed by
cooperatives is expected to
reach 98 billion pounds—
about 80 percent of all the
milk sold to plants and

dealers.' In addition, they
expect the amount of milk
bottled or manufactured by
cooperatives will increase to
41 billion pounds.
Lehigh Valley Farmers,
through its affiliation with
Atlantic P:ocessing
Federation, is capable of
meeting . today’s and
tomorrow’s industry
challenges, York said.
He said Lehigh will
provide a strong con
tribution to the stability of
the dairy industry of the
Northeast. It can assure
markets for dairymen today
and in the future.
Through its organizational
structure, it is a leader in the
State of Pennsylvania with
respect to such items as
packaging whole milk,
balancing of surplus milk
and the production of
cheddar cheese, York said.
“Dairy cooperatives, like
Lehigh, will continue their
growth trends while there
can he expected a continuous
decline in milk bottling
firms.
“The role of Lehigh will
expand as a stabilizing force
in assuring dairymen outlets
for their milk in the future.
This will all add up to a plus
for dairymen who are in the
region serviced by Lehigh,”
according to York.
