NEW YORK, N.Y. - Dairy
farmers will be voting in an up
coming referendum on the
amended New York-New Jersey
milk marketing orders (Federal
Order No. 2). The mail referen
dum, ending at midnight, Wed
nesday, July 22,1981, will be on the
amended order issued on June 22,
1981 by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.
N.K. Garber, Assistant Market
Administrator, who was named as
referendum agent, said all dairy
farmers who delivered milk to pool
plants and bulk tank units in
February, 1981 will be eligible to
vote either collectively through
their cooperative or, in the case of
non-members, by individual
ballots.
Agriculture ofticiai said.
Paul Becton, director ot the
national brucellosis eradication
program for USDA’s Animal and
Plant Health Inspection Service,
said the restoring of full-rate in
demnity is retroactive. Sup-

He stated that failure to approve
the amended order would result in
termination of the New York-New
Jersey milk marketing orders. A
two-thirds yes vote of those casting
ballots is necessary for approval.
The proposed amended order
changes the transportation dif
ferential, v applied to'Class I and
uniform prices, from the current
1.8 cents to 2.2 cents for each 10-
mile zone closer than the 201-210
mile zone from New York City.
The transportation differential
remains unchanged at 1.5 cents for
each 10-mile zone further than the
201-210 mile zone. The present 15-
ceht direct delivery differential
would be changed to a 15-cent fixed
differential applied to Class I and
uniform prices. The hauling

received, Becton said. For non
registered beef animals,' the
restored rate will be $62, per head.
Indemnity payments for non
registered dairy animals vary
from state to state.
Within maximum limits, in
demnity for registered animals is
based on 88.5 percent of appraised
value less the actual price paid at
slaughter.
Becton said the Congressional
action also allows the resuming of
certain other activities halted
because of the funding shortage.
For instances, officials
in states with low infection and.in
states with stepped-up eradication
programs may again authorize
indemnity-for entire herds sent' to
slaughter because of chronic or
heavy brucellosis infection.
Also, the additional funds will
assure continued use of private
veterinarians for testing and calf
vaccination in certain areas
considered critical because of high
infection levels. This includes
testing cattle at first points of
assembly in the marketing chain
called first-point testing. Such
critical supplies as vaccine can
also be bought with the sup-'

plemental funds.
Cattle brucellosis is at a low
level nationally, Becton said.
Several states are at or "near the
zero infection level, including:
Alaska, Connecticut, Delaware,
Hawaii, Maine, Maryland,
Massachusetts, Michigan, New
Hampshire, New Jersey, New
York, North, Carolina, North
Dakota, Rhode Island, South
Carolma, West Virginia and
Vermont.
States with relatively high in
fection levels include: Alabama,
Arkansas, Florida, Georgia,
Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi,
Missouri, Oklahoma, Tennessee,
and Texas. Of these, Alabama,
Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky, and
Tennessee have stepped-up
programs. All other states have
low to moderate levels of infection.
Brucellosis, sometimes called
Bang’s disease or contagious
abortion, is an infectious bacterial
disease of cattle, swine and-other
animals that may be transmitted
from animals to humans—
especially those m contact with
infected animals. Raw—
uopasteurized—milk is also a
source of human infection, often
referred to as updulant fever.
