Atlantic Dairy Supports Two-tier Pricing (Co „,,„ u . d „ om P . a . A 3„
SOUTHAMPTON (Bucks
Co.) Atlantic Dairy Coopera
tive's board of directors has
announced its support of two-tier
pricing as a means to improve
dairy farmer income by balancing
the nation's milk supply with
market demand.
The board's approval of a two
tier pricing plan is in response to
current industry debate on the
development of a nationwide milk
inventory management program.
The purpose of such a program,
which is mandated under the 1990
Farm Bill, is to limit national milk
surpluses by managing production
on the farm.
By balancing the nation's milk
supply with demand, dairy farmers
will receive a more consistent
price for their milk, said Robert B.
McSparran, president of Atlantic's
board. Two-tier pricing is a means
of achieving this goal.
“A two-tier pricing program
will tailor supply to the needs of
the market,” McSparran said. “It
will benefit farmers by halting the
roller coaster price effects we are
witnessing.”
In concept, two-tier pricing sets
two price levels for milk. Farmers
receive a higher or market price on
milk produced up to a predeter
mined level, and a lower price for
milk produced over that level.
In supporting two-tier pricing,
Atlantic's board also recom
mended three provisions that
should be included in such a pric
ing program. These include the
non-transferability of milk bases
outside the immediate family, new
producer start up, and a two-year
rolling average to determine milk
bases.
The board believes that dairy
farmers should be allowed to trans
fer their milk bases, but only to
immediate family members. This
transfer usually occurs when a far
mer has decided to retire and
wishes to pass on the farm to a son
or daughter.
The board also agreed that bona
fide new producers should share in
the higher price of a two-tier sys
tem until they are able to establish
a milk base.
“A new producer provision
must be included to give young
farmers an access to market, as
markets grow and older producers
stop shipping,” McSparran said.
The third provision supported
by the board is that bases be estab
lished on a two-year rolling aver
age. A two-year average, accord
ing to McSparran, will correct off
years, where production is affected
by weather or other situations, and
help producers increase their
market share.
While acknowledging that other
details for a national two-tier pric
ing plan need to be developed,
McSparran said Atlantic's action is
a first step.
“We need to have unified sup
port for one inventory manage
ment plan,” he said, “and Atlantic's
board will work to achieve that
goal.”
