Dairylea Cooperative President, Clyde E. Rutherford, one of the key participants in the fight, told a meeting of farm women in Mon trose, May 1, that representatives of his organization and several, other dairy co-ops and farm groups from New York, Pennsylvania,' New Jersey and New England insisted on “equal treatment” when a provision to increase certain Class 1 (fluid) milk prices in federal orders was debated. “The midwest dairy leaders were insistent on increasing the Class 1 prices only in markets in the south,” said Rutherford. “They even argued that the Class 1 price here in the Northeast should be cut by a dollar a hundredweight. That would have reduced our blend price by about 40 cents, and it would have been a reduction on top of those already planned as part of a herd buyout program.” Instead, said Rutherford, who is also chairman of the Northeast Farm Bill Committee, the local organizations stood their ground. “We told them that if we didn’t get the same relative price treatment that was being proposed for other markets, we would not support the Farm Bill at all,” he said. The end result was a victory for the representatives from the Northeast. Class 1 price dif ferentials were increased here, as well as elsewhere in the U.S. by the Farm Bill, starting with milk being produced this month. For just the 14,000 dairymen whose milk is marketed under the New York- New Jersey Federal Order (#2), the victory amounts to about $l4 million during the next 12 months, money that would not have been there if the fight had been lost. For other Orders, the Nor theast’s negotiating success amounts to: New England (#1) $6.7 million; Middle Atlantic (#4) $7.2 million; Eastern Ohio-Western Pennsylvania (§36) $2 million; New York State Order for Niagara Frontier, $BOO,OOO, and New York State Order for Rochester, $400,000. Total, including Order 2 $31.1 million. “We hear much discussion about negative things that happen in our industry, such as the bankruptcy of NEDCO, but not much about the good things,” said Rutherford. “The co-ops and our allies were successful in keeping $3l million in farmers’ milk checks in this region, and that means ALL far mers, including those not belonging to cooperatives. ’ ’
