(Continued from Pago A 1) which represents the market’s four major cooperatives: Atlantic, Maryland and Virginia Milk Pro ducers Cooperative Association, the Middle Atlantic Division of Dairymen Inc., and Valley of Vir ginia Cooperative Milk Producers Association - has proposed scrap ping the current butterfat differen tial in'favor of per-pound prices for butterfat and nonfat milk sol ids. The prices paid producers thus would be determined largely by the levels of these two compo nents their milk contains. The plan is designed to be revenue neutral, Fraher said; that is, the total amount of money paid to dairymen would not change from the total under the current system. However, individual farmers could see the prices they receive vary according to the amount of solids in their milk. Compared to the current system, Order 4 dairymen who market milk containing more than the market average for solids-not-fat will receive more money per Tractors Mfg.’s D I m** 1 Year Warranty DCIOI US Barn Equip.

Although, as a whole, milk buy ers would pay no more under the new system than they pay now, those handlers purchasing milk for manufacturing purposes (current ly Class II and in the future per haps Class 111 milk as well) would have to take account of nonfat sol id levels in their payments to pro ducers. Those receiving milk of higher than average solids content would pay more than those receiv ing below-average milk, but they would be compensated by higher product yields. The plan would not affect the way in which Class I milk bottled for fluid use is priced. The Pennmarva proposal is based on a multiple component pricing program in effect in the Great Basin Federal Order in Utah. That plan, which uses pro tein rather than nonfat solids as its additional pricing component, has worked well for two years, according to Fraher. CASH ...$5,395 0 $16,922 0 .$9,848 H PRICES EFFECTIVE UNTIL 7-31-90 Opposition to the Pennmarva proposal at the Phildadelphia hearing was voiced by representa tives of several cheese manufac- turers and the National Fanners Organization, who argued that protein would make a better basis for component pricing in the Mid- Atlantic area as well. Spokesmen for Kraft General Foods Inc., and the Dean Foods Company both said they were concerned about the potential lack of uniformity should Order 4 adopt a nonfat solids-based plan. “There really wasn’t any oppos ition to the idea of component pricing,” Fraher said, “just which component do you use.” In his testimony, Fraher defended Pennmarva’s decision to use nonfat solids. He said the majority of Class II milk is used to make products, such as ice cream and yogurt, whose yields depend more on solids-not-fat than on protein content Moreover, the values paid by certain handlers and received by all producers would deviate much Considers Component Pricing Route 30 West at the Centerville Exit. more under a protein standard, Fraher noted. Because protein levels vary more among herds than do nonfat solids and because the protein price would be higher on a per-pound basis, the spread between “winners” and “losers” in the new system would be much wider than it would be under the solids-not-fat standard, he said. Pennmarva’s proposal has widespread backing from area producers. In addition to the feder ation’s members, it has been endorsed by Eastern Milk Produc ers Cooperative and the smaller Mount Joy Farmers Cooperative Association. Together, these and the Pennmarva cooperatives con trol more than 90 percent of the milk supply in Order 4. The plan has another ally in National All-Jersey Inc.
