This issue is still unresolved.
Membership enrollment in south
eastern PA was also poor. RCMA
is currently endorsing a petition
calling on the Secretary of Agri
culture to suspend for one year the
Louisville Plan which reduces
spring milk prices in return for
higher prices in the fall.
In Federal Order 36 the Produc
ers’ Equalization Agency has been
holding membership meetings
during the past few months to
organize support for its goal of a
$1 over-order premium.
The Pennsylvania Farmers’
Association (PFA) supports the
efforts of these over-order price
bargaining agencies although we
recognize their limitations in
times of oversupply.
What about reopening the 1990
farm bill? Secretary Yeutter said
recently that reopening the farm
bill would result in more than a
SO-SO chance that farm subsidies
would be reduced even more.
Another option to consider is
the budget deficit cut. The five
wigs sure are gonna
change around here.”

cents dairy assessment will cost
the average Pennsylvania dairy
man $513 in 1991, then $1,154 in
1992; and will cost dairymen an
average of $5,131 over the entire
five year period. The assessment
is part of a 24% budget cut for
agriculture. A strong argument
can be made that this is a dispro
portionate amount which will do
more harm to agriculture than
good for the budget. PFA believes
that the 5 cents assessment is an
unfair burden on dairymen.
The total cost of farm price and
income support programs is a little
over 1% of the federal budget and
it has been declining in the last
five years. Farm program spend
ing has been cut by more than half
since 1986, from $25.8 billion to
less than $ll billion, as opposed
to only moderate reductions in the
level of increases for other catego
ries of government spending. The
24% reduction in farm program
spending is at least two or three
times the amount budget negotia
tors applied to other spending
areas.
