PFA opposes House dairy plan
CAMP HILL - The Penn
sylvania Farmers’ Association
(PFA) said today that it would
oppose any federal farm program
that forced dairymen to pay
assessments for the cost of a dairy
support program. That is the
message Keith Eckel, PFA
president, is sending to all
congressmen from Pennsylvania.
“We know that the best way to
balance supply and demand is to
make certain that dairy prices
automatically reflect purchases
made by the Commodity Credit
Corporation (CCC),” the farm
leader said.
“Some people in the dairy in
dustry are advocating diversion
Mid-Atlantic dairy managers win ADA contest
TOWSON, Md. - Seven Mid-

The contest was part of ADA’s
overall “Have A Dairy Good
Summer” promotion which
featured point-of-purchase ad
vertising at the dairy case and ice
cream freezer, six weeks of non

programs,” he said, “but similar
actions have been dismal failures
because they are not market
oriented. We also know that
assessments are extremely un
popular with dairymen.
What’s needed in the dairy in
dustry right now is a simplified
dairy support program, basing
price on CCC purchases,” Eckel
remarked.
He gave high marks to the
Senate version of the farm bill
because it accepted the concept of
gearing price supports to the
amount of CCC purchases.
Eckel classified the House
version as another complicated
dairy support program that would

To enter the retail contest, dairy
managers simply had to agree to
keep up the “Have A Dairy Good
Summer” P.O.P. material from
June 1 through the end of the
promotion on July 15. The P.O.P
materials were installed by the
Middle Atlantic Milk Marketing
Area, a local unit of ADA
Winners were selected from a
random drawing of retailers who
maintained their displays.
Nationally ADA gave away two
first prizes of a cruise for two to
Mexico, ten second prizes of a
Marcy em/1 complete home gym,
and 100 third prizes of Ricoh AF-5
35 mm cameras.
Local Safeway store winners
were- Robert L. Cobum of LaVale,
Md.; Robin Tnschmann of
cost dairymen further
assessments to finance
bureaucratic diversion programs.
“Only through market-oriented
milk support programs will far
mers be able to restore a strong
economic base for their industry
again,” Eckel said.
PFA will be seeking amend
ments in line with PFA policy, he
said, to both bills now being con
sidered that will (1) bring supplies „
down to demand levels, and (2)
automatically adjust the support
price level according to the
amount of net dairy products
purchased by the federal govern
ment, and (3) eliminate all
assessments against producers.
