RCMA Meeting
Slated
NEW HOLLAND - The Eastern
Lancaster County Adult Farmer
Program will sponsor a meeting to
inform local dairymen about the
Regional Cooperative Marketing
Agency and its efforts to help
dairymen receive higher milk
prices.
The meeting will be held
Thursday, Jan. 22, at 7:30 p.m. at
the Blue Ball School. Harold Ely, a
former Susquehanna County
dairymen, will explain the RCMA
program and answer questions.
Many eastern Lancaster County
dairymen ship milk to independent
dairies at a minimum price fixed
by Federal Orders. That dairy can
turn and sell the milk to other
processors for higher prices or
“over-order prices” without
passing along any of the profits to
the dairymen.
Recent court decisions now allow
dairymen to organize to demand to
receive additional payment if this
occurs. With a milk shortage in the
northeast, this may be the case
during much of the year.
If 95 percent of the dairymen
in the state agree to organize under
RCMA, the additional payments
can be collected and returned to
the dairymen. Over 90 percent of
the dairymen have already
agreed, mostly through the large
milk marketing cooperatives.
All interested dairymen are
invited. The Blue Ball School is
located about a mile east of Blue
Ball on Ewell Rd. between routes
23 and 322. For additional in
formation call 354-4525.
