YORK Among the several
hundred thousand visitors to the
recent York fair were three top
dairymen from Friesland, nor
thern Holland.
Taking part in a sire-study visit
were Klaas Van Der Ploeg, Joe
Van Der Pol, and Boyen De Boer,
who began their U.S. tour looking
at daughters of several sires
owned by Atlantic Breeders
Cooperative in Lancaster.
The co-op’s Willis Ritchey hosted
the trio on their several stops in
southeastern Pennsylvania to
study offspring of Atlantic’s Very,
Charisma, Marvex and Stormy,
sires currently popular in the
“Wisconsinpart of Holland.”
Van Der Ploeg’s 160 head
registered Holstein-Friesian herd
leads the nation’s production list,
with an average of 17,698 pounds
milk, 785 fat, on a 4.37 percent fat
test. His third-generation

WASHINGTON, D.C. -
Secretary of Agriculture John R.
Block recently announced the
support price for manufacturing
grade milk will be $13.10 per
hundredweight for the new
marketing year beginning Oct. 1.
This price is for milk with a
national average milkfat content
of 3.67 percent which is
equivalent to $12.80 per hun
dredweight for milk of 3.5 percent
milkfat.
The support level, unchanged
from that in effect for the last two
marketing years, is the minimum
allowed under the recently enacted
Omnibus Budget Reconciliation
Act of 1982.
USDA also announced proposed
regulations for implementing the
collection of SO cents per hun
dredweight on the sale of all milk
marketed by dairy farmers. The
dairy price support deduction is
authorized under the Omnibus
Budget Reconciliation Act of 1982
and collections will begin Dec. 1.
The act requires the deducted
funds be sent to the CCC to help
offset a portion of the cost of the
dairy price support program. All
dairy farmers, including those who
sell milk directly to consumers,
are liable for the deduction.
The collection of the dairy price
support deduction will be by

U.S. visitors, is one of the North
Sea country's larger dairy herds.
Average cow numbers in the ap
proximately 60,000 Holland
milking herds is 77 head, equalling
out to about one cow per person
over the nation’s population.
Far greater in numbers are
hogs, with an estimated 20 million
head boosting Dutch farm exports.
According to Van Der Ploeg, some
80 percent of Holland’s pork
production goes out of the country
to customers around the world.
Since the political upheaval in
Iran that replaced the reign of the
Shah, exports to that middle East
country, which purchases large
quantities of Holland cheese, have
increased. Another large volume
buyer of Dutch cheeses is
Venezuela.
Following their two-day visit to
Pennsylvania herds, the Dutch
dairymen planned stops in
Rochester, New York, the World
Dairy Expo in Madison, Wisconsin,
and Worldwide Sires in California.

> Basic provisions of the proposed
regulations provide-that:
The responsibility to make

CCC will be on the person who

dividual dairy farmers for their
milk.
*- Those responsible for making
the deductions will be required to
