Dairylea Farmers Draft Policy Recommendations action and full reciprocity in licensing milk dealers among states. It is designed to gain New York Slate milk processors and distributors the right to compete in other states which now impede equality of competition. Another resolution urges con tinued support of the recently created Regional Cooperative Marketing Agency to make RCMA a successful program for gaining belter farm milk prices, consistent with the effort of other dairy farmers. The committee proposals call for continuing support of two Dairylea Fall Production Incentive Programs designed tapvcn out the farm milk supply during the year. One, in which more than 1,300 Dairylea member farms already participate, says a bonus for total extra milk produced in the short supply months of September, October, and November as com pared with the previous year. The second is a new Counter-Seasonal Production Program offering a bonus for total pounds produced in the three fall months over the total pounds produced in April, May and June of the same year. Support for efforts to consoli date the assorted federal milk* markets into one comprehensive federal other area in the northeast is sought in another resolution for “this common market and com mon production area.” Additional policy proposals support preservation of key agri cultural laws, encourage nutrition al efforts in schools and promotion of both brand and non-brand dairy product consumption, maintaining environmental qualities of agricul tural land, and restoring integrity to the dairy price support program. The two-day meeting, which starts Tuesday, October 13, will commemorate the eightieth anniversary of the area’s oldest dairy cooperative. The Dairy men’s League was founded in 1907 in Orange County, NY, becoming the incorporated Dairy men’s League Cooperative Asso ciation in 1919 and abbrev lating its name to Dairylca Cooperative in 1969. Dairylca currently has 3,000 members in NY, PA, NJ and part of New England, plus 13 other dairy cooperatives affiliated for services. Net sales of the co-op for its 1986-87 fiscal year were $343 million.
