Dairy farmers
to receive $12.84
for July milk
NEW YORK, N.J. - Dairy
fanners who supplied milk plants
regulated under the New York-
New Jersey marketing orders
during July 1984 will be paid on the
basis of a uniform price of 112.84
per hundredweight (27.6 cents per
quart).
Market Administrator Thomas
A. Wilson also stated that the price
was $12.29 in June 1984 and $13.12
in July 1983. The uniform price is a
marketwide weighted average of
the value of farm milk used for
fluid and manufactured dairy
products.
The seasonal incentive plan does
not affect the uniform price for the
month of July.
A total of 16,866 dairy farmers
supplied the New York-New Jersey
Milk Marketing Area with
949,691,577 pounds of milk during
July 1984. This was a decrease of
4.6 percent (about 46 million
pounds) from last year. The gross
value to dairy farmers for milk
deliveries was $122,638,963.62. This
included differentials required to
be paid to dairy farmers but not
voluntary premiums or deductions
authorized by the farmer.
Regulated milk dealers (han
dlers) used 351,509,052 pounds of
milk for Class 1,37.0 percent of the
total. This milk is used for fluid
milk products such as
homogenized, flavored, low test,
and skim milks. For July 1984,
handlers paid $14.33 per hun
dredweight (30.8 cents per quart)
for Class I milk compared with
$14.76 a year ago.
The balance (598,182,525 pounds
or 63.0 percent) was used to
manufacture Class II products
including butter, cheese, ice
cream, and yogurt. Handlers paid
$12.20 per hundredweight for this
milk.
The uniform price is based on
milk containing 3.5 percent but
terfat. For July 1984, there was a
price differential of 17.9 cents for
each one-tenth of one percent that
the milk tested above or below the
3.5 percent standard.
All prices quoted are for bulk
tank milk received within the 201-
210 mile zone from New York City.
