ATTENTION DAIRY FARMERS
To:
Dear Sirs:
After reviewing the expenses of operating my business, economics
dictate that I must recover a greater portion of the operating expenses.
Just as any other segment of the business economy, farmers cannot
operate at a loss year after year.
As a sound business move I want an increase in my milk price by .65 per
cwt. This will, most assuredly NOT cover my expenses but will allow for
the tax and advertising.
I’m sure that you are aware that if one end of our business is not healthy,
the rest, in time, feels the effects.
I know that an adequate supply of milk is needed on your end as is an
adequate income on the producer's end. Because you are in a better
position to pass the cost on to the public, I trust there should be no great
problems.
If you are a Dairy Farmer, and agree with this letter, fill in the name of
your milk company at the top. Date it, sign your name, and clip and mail
to:
National Farmers Organization
202 Bushkill Street
Easton, PA 18042
(215) 258-2904
Please mail before October 1,1984.
Isn't it time you recover the tax and advertising like any other business?

tivities and chapter president this
year, will be competing Sept. 29 -

son of Mr. and Mrs. Grant Krall,
Fonderwhite Rd., Lebanon.
-Also, scheduled to make
competitive trips are twins Dan
and Dave Groff, who placed third
respectively in state dairy foods
and land judging competition. Dan
