HARRISBURG (Dauphin
Co.) The recent addition of 25
cents to the minimum Pennsylva
nia price of milk to producers is but
one of several actions the Pennsyl
vania Milk Marketing Board
(PMMB) has taken during its exis
tance to help the state’s dairy
industry.
According to its chairman, Don
Lanius, and board members J.
Robert Derry and Leon Wilkinson,
the Pennsylvania Milk Marketing
Board has played a vital role in
assisting the Pennsylvania farmers
in the last few years.
The agency's Secretary O. Frank
DeGarcia recently said that all
three have been PMMB board
members since September 1988,
and have held several statewide
hearings for drought relief as well
as fuel cost adjustment to farmers.
As a result, their actions yielded
approximately $102,033,782, or,
an averge of more than $7,800 for
each Pennsylvania milk producer.
A breakdown of the past actions
of the PMMB reveals:
• The base premium payment
for Class I milk (drinkable-milk)
of $1.05 since Sept. 18, 1988 to
June 30, 1992, would yield
approximately $95,000,000 to
Pennsylvania dairy farmers. These
payments may not have been

made, if it were not for the enforce
ment capabilities of the PMMB
and dedicated staff of the agency.
• In December 1990 the board
added 30 cents to the existing
$1 .OS for a total of seven months to
compensate for increased fuel
costs brought about by the Gulf
crisis. This action of the board
resulted in an additional
$4,140,000 in revenue back to
Pennsylvania farmers.
• Most recently, in January, the
board held a statewide drought
relief hearing. The results of the
hearing were a 25-cent increase on
top of the existing $1.05 for the
remaining five months of the exist
ing order. The Board's action will
generate an additional $2,470,000
for dairy farmers.
Agency’s Secretary DcGarcia
said, “That while the PMMB, as a
state agency, cannot solve all the
problems facing our economy that
is impacting on our Pennsylvania
dairy fanners, the Board's past
actions are efforts that have gone a
long way toward curbing the dam
age caused by weather and marked
conditions.
“This premium program is an
addition to the numerous other
board initiatives which ensure a
stable market and a safe adequate
supply of milk."
