The 24 “Five Year Investor
Awards” to be presented this year,
combined with those given
previously, make a total of 173
dairymen who have received this
award.
The investor awards are given to
those dairymen who have invested
money in National All-Jersey’s
Equity Program for five con
tinuous years. The awards are in
recognition and appreciation of
longtime support and promotion of
equitable milk pricing.
The Equity Program has been
the pioneer in promoting and
developing a more equitable milk
pricing system. A pricing system

years of its existence the program
has grown. Approximately 800
dairymen are investing in the
program.
The 13 states boasting award
winners are California, Colorado,
Indiana, lowa, Massachusetts,
Michigan, Missouri, New Hamp
shire, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma,
Pennsylvania and Vermont.
