Grange urges milk bill signing HARRISBURG The Penn sylvania State Grange is urging Governor Dick Thornburgh to sign into law a bill that would strengthen the financial protection for dairy fanners through changes in the Pennsylvania Milk Security Fund. Currently on the Governor’s desk, H.B. 1969 amends the Milk Security Act of 1980 to correct some problems that have surfaced since it was enacted. Set up to reimburse farmers in the event of dealer default or bankruptcy, the Fund is financed through a 1 cent per hundred pounds of milk con tribution by Pennsylvania milk dealers. However, the unstable economy in the dairy industry in the past three years has resulted in insufficient funds to pay all the claims against the Fund. The new legislation gives milk dealers three options: 1) post a bond equal to 75 percent of their milk shipments during their normal pay period and make no contribution to a security fund; post a 30 percent bond and pay 2 cents per cwt. into individual security funds established by each dealer; or, if a bond cannot be secured, a dealer can enter into a trustee agreement with the Penn sylvania Milk Marketing Board. In addition, the law toughens the requirements for new dealers operating in Pennsylvania. State Master Charles Wismer said the producers for the bankrupt Scheps Cheese Company in Wyoming County were unable to collect from the Milk Security Fund due to depletion of funds by several previous claims. “Since the Milk Security Fund was not building money fast enough to fulfill its purpose, which was to reimburse farmers, this legislation needs to be enacted as quickly as possible to ensure viable protec tion for dairy farmers. ” Wismer said the Grange urged introduction of an important amendment inserted in the Senate that prevents a bankruptcy court ■ from seizing money in the security fund as assets in the event of a dealer bankruptcy, reserving these monies strictly to reimburse farmers for their losses. The legislation awaiting the Governor’s signature represents a compromise reached by the dairy and farm organizations, Wismer said.
