The Milk Check TOM JVROHAK County Agent Good News The good news out of Washington last month was the announcement that the U.S. Department of Agriculture had denied a petition from' the Community Nutrition Institute to hold a hearing on the pncmg of reconstituted milk under all federal milk marketing orders. This has been kicking around for 20 months but there was still nothing new from what had been said when the proposal was first made by CNI back in August, 1979. Reasons given by USDA for denying the hearing included the undermining of classified pricing, the uncertainty of consumers getting what they paid for, losses to producers would exceed benefits to consumers, and finally the fact consumers already have the op portunity to buy powdered milk at the grocery store and reconstitute it themselves if that’s what they want. This is probably another example of milk marketing and politics. If a national presidential election hadn’t taken place when it did, the decision might have been made in six months instead of twenty months. But don’t be surprised if the question of reconstituted milk is raised again. This wasn’t the first Broiler placements HARRISBURG Placements of broiler chicks in the com monwealth during the week ending April IB were 2,323,000, according to the Pennsylvania Crop Reporting Service. The placements were slightly, above both the corresponding week a year earlier and the previous week. Average placements during the past nine weeks were one percent above a year ago.- Lancaster Farming, Saturday, May 2, 1981—D1l time the issue came up and I don’t thinks it will be the last. The uniform price for March m Order 2 was $13.20 or 26 cents less than February. It was about as good as you should have expected with a whopping four percent in crease in production (allowing for 28 days in February) and a 20 cent deduct for the Louisville Plan. Class prices were slightly higher than a month ago with Class 1 up three cents to $14.89 and Class II up six cents to $12.62 for March. But that increased production which was the highest for March in 14 years gave you a Class I utilization of only 41.4 percent, the lowest for March in 24 years. It was the first month of the spring flush. If it’s any indication of what’s ahead, it should be a dandy. There’s certainly no help for increasing class prices with your increasing production and no help from the dairy pnce support program. So it’s just a question of how far down you’ll push that Class I utilization. If it drops to 40 per cent in April and your Louisville Plan payment goes to 30 cents, you can expect a blend price very close to $13.00 for the month. After that there’s still May.and June before the flush is over. up slightly Placements in the 21 key poultry producing states were 85,879,000, one percent above a year ago. Average placements in the 21 key states during the past nine weeks were three percent above a year earlier. Broiler-fryers slaughtered in Pennsylvania under federal in spection during the week ending April 8 totaled 2,078,000, with an average liveweight of 3.99 pounds. • BARN PAINTING • ROOF PAINTING • BIN PAINTING • MASONRY & EPOXY COATING • Sandblast preparation Special Winter Prices On Barn Painting In Lane., York, Adams, Harford, Baltimore, Carroll & Frederick Counties All work is guaranteed satisfactory.
