A3O-Uncaster Farming, Saturday, Dacember 8,1984 SYRACUSE, NY - At NEDCO’s urging and highlighting a major shift in the milk supply and utilization that has taken place in the New York-New Jersey milk marketing area this past year, Thomas Wilson, Federal Milk Marketing Administrator has announced a minimum Class I-A (market fluid) utilization per formance standard for handlers to meet, who operate pool plants and pool bulk tank units under the order. The announcement came late on Nov. 29. The 10 percent Minimum Order ‘call provision” will apply for the month of December, 1984 and will assure that all handlers, whose milk is pooled under the Order, will do their full share in meeting all consumer fluid milk needs. This minimum shipping standard of 10 percent, in the best judgement of the Administrator, will supply those needs during this period of seasonally short milk supply. The "call provision” follows a special meeting held by the Ad ministrator on Nov. 20 in Syracuse, mainly at the request of NEDCO along with some other handlers. That meeting was called for the express purpose of considering what the minimum Class I ship ping percentage should be for the period November through January, 1985. The special “call provision” authorized in the Federal Milk Order is seldom used, as ordinarily market fluid needs are regularly met. The last time it was invoked was in the 1950’5. The 10 percent minimum call applies only for December at this time, with a possible follow-up minimum percentage to be announced later for the month of January, 1985. None was set for November, as most of the month had already elapsed. Fluid bottled milk sales within the defined marketing area (Class I-A), currently makes up close to 45 percent of all market milk in the Order 2 pool. However, that amount was found by the Ad ministrator to be supplied by too few of the market’s milk handlers.

The residue from this process is a dilute suspension of solids called sludge, which con tains nutrients (nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus) and organic matter of potential use in crop production. However, sludge invariably contains measurable amounts of heavy metals, toxic organics and disease-causing microorganisrfts and so must be used cautiously to avoid injuring plants, contaminating the food chain, or polluting the en vironment.

The publication discusses the general advantages, limitations and potential problems related to land disposal of sludge. It also contains sections on the production and properties of sewage sludge, sludge application methods, and regulations governing sludge use in Delaware.
