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.
