Eastern officials talk with
candidate’s representatives
WASHINGTON, D.C. -
Officials of the 4000 dairy
farmer member Eastern
Milk Producers Cooperative
met with representatives of
Republican presidential
candidate Ronald Reagan
last Thursday, in our
nation’s capital. An attempt
is being made by the
Syracuse, N.Y. based
organization to schedule a
similar confab with
President Carter’s people m
the near future.
Howard McDonald,
Eastern’s General Manager,
announced the purpose of the
meeting was to gather in
formation regarding farm
policy matters as they
pertain to the agricultural
planks of the Republican
platform, approved at the
national convention on July
14,1900.
The principal topics
discussed included policy
attitudes on milk price
supports, federal milk
marketing orders, farmer
cooperatives, regulatory
standards for antibiotics and
pesticide residues and in
ternational trade.
Reagan is believed to be a
strong supporter of the
Federal Milk Marketing
Order program. He also
expects to listen to
knowledgeable people before
making a decision on cost"

benefits of such issues as the
CNI proposal.
A Republican ad
ministration does not, at this
time, favor milk supply
controls and tends to favor a
workable program for
supporting milk pricing,
they said.
Ihe Republican party
candidates enthusiastically
support the Capper-Volstead
Act and strong farmer
cooperatives. They are
concerned over attempts to
undermine the bargaining
ability of dairy farmer
cooperatives.
A Republican ad
ministration likely will work
toward alleviating excessive
regulations of agriculture,
but will support programs
necessary to provide an
adequate and high quality
supply of food for the
nation’s consumers. Support
was also evident for the
school milk and school lunch
programs.
Reagan’s representatives
indicated that the
Republicans are in favor of
restoring the position of the
farmer cooperative service
in the Department of
Agriculture which has been
down graded under the
reorganization program of
the Carter administration.
They intend to restrengthen
the role of the U.S. Depart-
