N.E. Grange
Says Rescind
Hike
CORTLAND,
N.Y. A 6.25-cent
per hundredweight hike
in a federal assessment
on dairy farmers should
be rescinded because
farmers will get nothing
in return for the contri
bution, according to a
policy statement
authored by representa
tives of five northeast
state Granges.
"They’re paying for
nothing, so why should
they pay?" asked New
York State Grange Mas
ter William Benson, one
of the high-ranking
Grange members in
attendance at the recent
Northeast interstate
Grange meeting in Port
land, Conn. "If dairy
farmers are going to
benefit, fine. But that's
not what's happening."
A product of the dairy
• portion of the 1990
Farm Bill, the assess
ment increase is
intended to help recon
cile the federal budget
deficit Dairymen now
pay 5 cents per
hundredweight.
Benson and other
Northeast Grange mas
ters are spearheading a
campaign to rescind the
assessment by organiz
ing a letter-writing cam
paign to Senators and
Congressmen.
The dairy industry in
the nation, and especial
ly in the northeast, has
experienced major
income reduction, but
the federal government
has been unable to agree
on a program to help. As
a result, the dairy far
mers perceive no return
from this assessment,
according to the Grange
policy statement
"This assessment
; should be rescinded as a
means of helping to alle
viate, in a small way,
some of the economic
stress facing the dairy
industry today."
