Central Jersey Holstein honors Paulmier
FLEMINGTON, N.J. -
“Breeder of the Year” honor was
awarded to John M. Paulmier,
Delaware Township, at the recent
meeting of the Central Jersey
Holstein Association at Stanton
Grange Hall. The occasion was the
N.E.-N.J.
plan approved
NEW YORK, N.Y. - A plan
whereby dairy farmers contribute
money for milk promotion ac
tivities of the American Dairy
Association and Dairy Council,
Inc., headquartered in Syracuse,
N.Y., was approved again by
Thomas A. Wilson, Market Ad
ministrator, New York-New
Jersey Milk Marketing Area.
These milk promotion activities
include advertising, nutrition
education, publicity for dairy
products, marketing and product
research, and informational
services.
This year the deduction under
the “positive letter” would be
applied as a credit against the 15
cents per hundredweight dairy
promotion deduction required by
the Dairy and Tobacco Adjustment
Act of 1983. Up to 10 cents approved
by producers for an approved local
promotion program such as that of
the American Dairy Association
and Dairy Council, Inc. is eligible
as an offset to this mandatory 15-
cent deduction.
Wilson said that today’s action
allows handlers regulated by the
marketing orders to send “positive
letters” to their dairy-farmer
suppliers. A dairy farmer who
receives a letter will be considered
to approve, for one year, deduc
tions of 10 cents per hundredweight
from his monthly milk checks,
unless he notifies his handler in
writing that no deduction should be
made.
Moneys deducted from
payments for milk delivered on or
after May 1 will be paid directly by
the handler to the American Dairy
Association and Dairy Council,
Inc., Syracuse, New York.

joint annual meeting of the
Holstein association and the
Central Jersey Dairy Herd Im
provement Association.
The award was presented by
William Teets, Clinton Township,
last year’s award recipient and a
milk marketing
The Market Administrator
explained that participation in the
local program is voluntary for both
handlers and producers, and a
participating producer may have
deductions stopped at any time by
notifying the handler. A producer
who receives not letter need not
contact his handler since no
deduction will be made for the
local program.
In approving the plan for the
coming year, Wilson pointed out
that there has been no substantial
opposition to the use of the positive
letter procedure by producers.
Use of the positive letter ap
proach was requested by Allied
