SYRACUSE, N.Y.
Eastern Milk Producers
learned this week that
' President Carter’s Rer
election Committee does not
plan to prepare papers on
agricultural policy but
rather will run on the record
of the past four years.
Officials of the 4000 dairy
farmer organization met
with Assistant Secretary of
Agriculture, Jim Webster,
regarding prospective farm
policy of a re-elected Jimmy
Carter administration in
Washington, D.C. A similar
meeting was held last month
with representatives of
Republican presidential
candidate, Ronald Reagan.
Howard McDonald,
Eastern’s General Manager,
i observed that no major
change of agricultural policy
seems to be forthcoming
from the Carter Ad
ministration at this time.
Webster indidated the
administration’s support for
the 80 percent of parity floor
on milk price supports.
However, Joseph Mathis,
the cooperative’s
Economist, noted that new
legislation will be required
as the 1977 amendments will
expire on September 30 of
this year. Undoubtedly,

Eastern hears outlook
if Carter is re-elected
according to Mathis, the
mood of Congress has had
some impact on this ap
parent change in attitude by
Secretary of Agriculture,
Bergland and others.
“Should this change after
the election in November, it
will be interesting to see
what pressures are brought
to bear on the dairy industry
to change the milk price
support program under the
1981 Agricultural Act”, said
Mathis.
McDonald reported the
Administration’s present
support of farmer
cooperatives and the Cap
per-Volstead Act would
likely continue as well as
general support for the
Federal Milk Marketing
Order Program.
The Assistant Secretary of
Agriculture indicated that
the Carter administration
will undertake a study of
imports'and if warranted
will ask to reopen the in
vestigation of the casein
issue.
Casein is a milk derivative
and a subsidized
agricultural commodity
which appears to be un
dermining the support
program, the price structure
and the market for dairy

that some form of quota,
countervailing duty, or other
restraint may be imposed.
Although there appears to
be no major shift in the
Admininstration’s policy on
the School Lunch and the
School Milk Programs,
Mathis belives that these

McDonald summed up the
meeting by saying that “The

four years”.
He further stated that
