CB—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, December 4,1982 The Milk Check TOM JURGHAK County Agent Now that the elections and the 45 day “comment” period are over, nothing seems to have changed much as far as finding a national dairy program that would provide a lasting solution to the problem of high price support costs. A lot of farm organizations and co-ops encouraged letter writing campaigns showing producer opposition to the 50 cent assessment scheduled to start December 1 but little was suggested to replace it except the same variety of proposals made by all the same organizations before the present program was passed. It wasn’t hard to figure out why producers were against the assessment but no one came up with workable alternatives to take its place. At least there was no consensus in the dairy industry of what was wanted that everyone could fight for. It’s alright to be “against” an idea but nothing gets accomplished unless we’re "for” something. Maybe the flood of letters or one of the law suits filed against it will delay or even stop the assessment but either way we won’t be any nearer a lasting solution than we are now. The answer isn’t simple and the solution won’t be easy but unless we can agree on a program I’m afraid that someone else may do it for us. We might continue our delaying tactics long enough to allow other organizations such as the Com munity Nutrition Institute or the National Association for Milk Association for Milk Marketing Reform to seize the opportumty not only to eliminate the price support program but to dismantle the Federal Milk Marketing Orders. Half a Loaf Even pressing for some of the things that the administration suggested six months ago would be helpful. None of them alone could be called a solution but together they could be significant and half a loaf is better than none. Things like selling dairy products to Russia or other foreign countries who will pay; using American dairy products in our military posts in foreign countries; impose countervailing duties on imports subsidized by other countries; change the composition of milk to sell more powder and most importantly, restrict casein imports for use in imitation dairy products while putting more producer dollars in promoting the real thing can still be helpful and are possible if we put as much effort into them as we did in op posing the 50 cent assessment. *■■■ Please publish my ■ len I I 25-$5.00 A public auction of real estate and antiques was held Nov. 18 by Emma M.
