The Federation’s annual gath

nation’s milk supply, Gardner
said.

one more critical than any
we’ve faced in the recent past,”
Gardner said.
He said Eastern’s board agreed
with Barr that, “We must make
fundamental decisions about our
industry.”
With that in mind, Gardner
said, “We’re looking at seizing
opportunities in the changes all
around us for the benefit of North
east dairy farmers.
“National and internatiorfSl
markets are impacting us in the
Northeast,” Gardner said.
“Whether it’s the General Agree
ment on Tariff and Trade, better
known as GATT, or the upcoming
1995 Farm Bill, we’re preparing
now for change by working more
closely with other cooperatives
and dairy organizations to give us
combined bargaining power, not
to mention greater resources that
will allow us to respond to the
changing marketplace.”

Eastern’s president noted that
for decades, Congress and the
dairy industry itself have been
talking about the need for greater
unity among dairy organizations.
“We’re tired of talking about it, “
he said. “We’re going to reap the
benefits of working together with
