Growth
dairy producers’ pricing organiza
tion has signed over 3,000 dairy
farmers in eastern Ohio and west
ern Pennsylvania to its cause.
When over 60 delegates assem
ble for the second annual meeting
held at the Ramada Inn in West
Middlesex, on March 21, they will
hear how PEA plans to sign up the
additional dairy farmers it needs
to put pricing in the hands of milk
producers in F.O. #36.
In addition to the official tasks
of the delegates, such as voting on
a by-law change, they will meet
guests from various agricultural,
agencies including Pennsylvania
Farmers Association and the Ohio
Farm Bureau. A representative
from the Pennsylvania Milk
Marketing Board, will explain the
regulatory agency’s purpose and
current programs. Nationally
renowned Bob Jacobson, ag
economist from Ohio State Uni
versity, will provide an update on
the current dairy industry and give
his projections for the coming
year.
According to John Siglow, gen
eral manager of PEA, the meeting
will give delegates an opportunity
to exchange views and experi
ences relative to the success in
recruiting independent dairy far
mers to join PEA. Siglow points
out that dairy support levels have
dropped to $9.90 per cwt., 3.5 per
cent butterfaL
This, coupled with an increas
ing national milk supply, has
made the ability of dairy farmers
to price their milk more critical
than a year ago.
