RCMA Says Federal Hearings
Threaten Northeast Dairy Industry
BATAVIA, NY A nation- mere receive for milk sold for
wide hearing starting in Septem- fluid consumption,
her threatens the livelihood of * Allow powdered milk to be
dairy farmers in the Northeast, reconstituted and sold at a low
according to the leaders of an price in competition with fluid
organization that represents milk.
22,000 farmers. * Eliminate the federal milk
The U.S. Department of Agri
culture has scheduled the Federal
Milk Market Order Hearing to
begin on Sept. 5 in Eau Claire,
Wis.'
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

marketing orders entirely.
Carmen L. 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.
