Over-Order
(Continued from Page A2O)
PMMB has set minimum
raw milk prices in excess of
federal order minimums since
1988, but the board's jurisdic
tion is limited to Pennsylvania
processors. MACMMA, a
bargaining agency that repre
sents the three major Order 4
cooperatives, has been able to
extend premiums at the
PMMB price throughout the
federal order marketplace,
which takes in southeastern
Pennsylvania, Maryland,
Delaware, northern Virginia
and southern New Jersey.
"Putting the $1.05 in New
Jersey will help the whole
over- order pricing effort by
bringing uniformity to a mark
et that particularly in northern
New Jersey is subject to indi
vidual bargaining," said Jim
Fraher, an economist for
Atlantic Dairy Cooperative.
Even though most New
Jersey dairymen already were
receiving a premium through
MACMMA or through indivi
dual agreements with hand
lers, the state Class I premium
should mean higher prices
there, Fraher noted. Proceeds
from the state premium will be
pooled solely among dairy
men in the stale rather than
throughout an overall market,
as is MACMMA’s. Because
almost all New Jersey milk is
used for fluid milk, the state
premium will generate an
additional 90 cents or so a
hundredweight, Moffett said.
This is higher than the roughly
50 cents that farmers in south
ern New Jersey have been get
ting as a result of MACMMA'-
s efforts to dale.
The New York pricing sys
tem also has been structured to
pool returns among dairyman
statewide, McAllister noted.
Commissioner McGuire esti
mated the impact of the pre
miums on all three classes of
milk would be worth an extra
80 cents a hundredweight to
dairymen statewide.
However, dairymen in the
two states should not neces
sarily expect an 80-cent or
90-cent increase in their milk
