Ferris from New Wilmington, Lawrence County, attains this price by shipping his Guernsey milk to the New Wilmington Cheese Plant. Here he is paid on the Federal Order 36 price plus a standard bonus of $1.34. This bonus is paid on all milk that has a minumum of 3.5 percent protein and 4.5 percent fat. This is a minumum level and no dif ferential is paid on levels above mm m His herd produces $l6 milk Salted-in-the-shell Peanuts While You Shop CHMMMj CHAMPION SPARKPLUGS 01-78586/80266 Regular or Resistor SSL 99' Limit 16 Plugs Per Customer ROSS SUPER TREE STAKES / I Choose from: Tree & Shrub, if Evergreen, or Fruit & r 1 Ornamental 68-56001/56027 A 0^ TsFor «pX /poFF^PEANin'SN twHIIiYOU SHOpU ® VERMONT AMERICAN 7V4” SAW BLADES 38-60996 99' - TRACTOR& ■■OB IMPLEMENT ENAMEL A aa 9 PAINT VIVVGAL 34-49368/49902 INTERIOR EXTERIOR LATEX ~ qq PAINT /.JWzgal 34-51030 this. The milk that Ferris usually ships tests at 3.6 percent protein and 4.75 percent fat, well over the requirements. Ferris estimates that by ship ping 60,000 pounds of milk mon thly, he is able to net an additional $750. This mutually beneficial union between Ferris’ Summerfield Farms Guernseys and the cheese plant started at the beginning of 1984. Prior to learning about the cheese plant, he shipped his milk to a regular fluid milk market. “Now I’m paid for what’s in the milk,” Ferris commented, “...the total solids way.” Wisconsin and California have been pricing milk that way for sometime now he added. Presently, however, the fluid milk market does not cater to the total solids in milk. Therefore, he feels it will be some time before we are able to have similar pricing for all Jersey breeders MEADVILLE Western Penn sylvania Jersey breeders are ready to host the 1986 Annual Meeting on April 11 and 12.
