MILK
CHECK
(Continued from Page E 5)
the first month under the amended
orders.
Putting all that together spells a
uniform or blend price for Order 2
for 3.5 percent fat milk at the 201-
to 210-mile zone of $lO.Bl for
April milk.
That’s 9 cents less than March
and $1.64 less than last year with
out the 30-cent payment for the
Louisville Plan.
For the first month under the
amendments to Order 2, with near
ly the same volume of milk as last
April, there was a 38.9 percent
Class I utilization; 18.2 percent
Class II and 42.9 percent Class in.
Last year it was 38 percent Class I
and 62 percent Class 11.
For this month at least, it would
appear that you may be a little
ahead with the new classification
and you did get 3 cents more for
the 174 million pounds in Class n,
most of which would have been in
Class 111.

Development Association - Coun
cil of Governments (SEDA
COG). From June 23-25, SEDA
COB will sponsor “Shaping the
Future in Central Pennsylvania," a
three-day conference at Bucknell
University designed to develop a
regional perspective on critical
issues such as economic develop
ment, environment, education and
societal change.
It was expected that with all the
changes in Order 2 that the new
Order would be essentially
“revenue neutral” when compared
to the previous Order, but that may
not be true for individual
producers.
The changes in the transporta
tion differentials will probably
have the most immediate impact,
with producers inside the 201- to
210-mile zone showing the most
improvement and those beyond the
least
While the M-W price is up a
little and cheese and powder prices
ate showing some activity, don't
expect much change in your milk
check next month.
We already know that the Class
I and II prices will be nearly the
same in May as they were in April.
The M-W may continue to go up,
but the increase will be small and
won’t be reflected in your milk
check through Class I and II prices
until July.-
So, while the market looks fir
mer, all the cost cutting practices
you can use will be needed into the
foreseeable future and beyond for
survival.
