The hearing, which will meet at a variety of locations across the nation until testimony is com pleted in October, will consider proposed changes in the pricing structure by which milk and dairy products are marketed throughout the nation under the Federal Milk Marketing Order system. The only hearing location in the Northeast will be in Syracuse, N.Y., on Oct. 1 through 5. Some of the proposed changes would have a devastating effect on the dairy industry of the North east, said William Zuber, presi dent of the Regional Cooperative Marketing Agency (RCMA), which has 22,000 dairy farmer members in the Northeast and is based in Batavia, N.Y. “This is clearly a politically motivated hearing called on behalf of Upper Midwest interests whose goal is to lower dairy farm income in the Northeast and elsewhere,” Mr. Zuber said. Among the proposals are plans that would: *'Lower the price received by producers in the Northeast for milk sold for fluid consumption. * Shift money from the North east’s farmers to the Midwest by pooling the money Northeast far Indiana Livestock Homer City, PA Thursday, August 23, 1990 Report supplied by PDA CATTLE 125.

Ross, RCMA’s executive director, said it is the first time the marketing hearings have considered such sweeping changes. The proposed changes would hurt all groups in the North east, including producers, cooperatives, milk processors and consumers. “Northeast dairy interests must unite and form a broad-based coalition to oppose these propos als,” Mr. Ross said. RCMA and the Council of Northeast Farmer Cooperatives are sponsoring a meeting for all groups and individuals concerned with the future of the Northeast dairy industry to fight to preserve the current milk marketing system. The meeting will be at 1 p.m. Aug. 28 at the Sheraton Inn on Electronics Parkway (Thruway Exit 37) in Syracuse, N.Y. Representatives of all groups with dairy concerns, including cooperatives, proprietary hand lers, farm organizations, state agencies, legislators and others. have been invited to discuss how the industry can best support the current federal order system. “This national hearing is a tre mendous threat to all daily inter ests in the Northeast. The only way to fight it is with a united front,” Mr. Ross said.
