Milk Check (Continued from Page C 2) decide to participate in the Penn sylvania program and are using the forms prepared by the Bureau of Markets, where it asks for the ‘Name of Dairy” they want the name of your handler or co-op - not the name of your farm. Security Bill Last week in Harrisburg the Milk Producers Security Bill passed the House by a unanimous vote of 195 to 0 without any debate. The same thing might have hap pened in the Senate this week but, because of a technical error the bill had to be reprinted so it will take another week, at least. Hopefully, the Legislature will pass it this month so it can go to the Governor in time for an effective date of July 1. That’s the date that handlers have to renew their licenses an nually to buy milk in Penn sylvania. This is important because, if the new bill becomes law, a handler will have to make a choice ot being bonded for 75 percent of his milk purchases or having a 30 percent bond sup plemented by a two cent a hundred contribution to an individual security fund He must also notify his producers which option he chooses. Order 2 Pool Shipments to Order 2 handlers were down two percent in April compared to a year ago. Nationally, production dropped 2.4 percent - the largest monthly decrease this year The blend price in Order 2 was $12.36 for April milk. That was 19 cents less than March reflecting a 10-cent in crease in the Louisville Plan payment to 30 cents; a five cent drop in the class II price and a 3.2 per cent drop in Class I utilization from last month. In addition, a 50- cent assessment for the Milk Diversion Program takes the price down to $11.86 - the lowest for April since 1979.
