MMI To Congressional Panel:
Keep Federal Milk Orders
SYRACUSE, N.Y.—The Fed
cnl Milk Marketing Order system
needs to be retained, even though
it needs changing to reflect current
market conditions, Lewis Gard
ner, vice chairman of Milk Mark
eting Inc. (MMI), told a congres
sional panel conducting a hearing
in Syracuse, N.Y., on April 24.
“The facts are that, in die many
years the Federal Milk Marketing
Order program lias been in' exis
tence, it has functioned as
intended," Gardner said to the
U,S. House Committee on Agri
culture’s Subcommittee on Live
stock, Dairy and Poultry.
“Consumers have obtained
adequate supplies of fresh fluid
milk at reasonable prices. At the
same time, producers have been
assured they v/ill receive prices
for their milk based on how that
milk was ultimately used." Gard
ner said.
Gardner, v/bo testified on
behalf of the 13,300 dairy fanners
associated v'.th the Council of
Northeast Farmer Cooperatives,
cautioned that any changes made
in the federal order system should
not be mads a l , die expense of any
one region in the country. (The
Council represents farmers from
New England to Kentucky, from
Michigan to Delaware.)

“Needless to say,” he said, far
mers “would like higher prices. In
order to have higher prices, with
out limiting production, we must
expand our markets.”
Exports present the greatest
potential for such income
producing expansion, he said.
“Export market development
should be given the highest priori
ty in the 1995 Faim Bill,” he said,
adding that it should be done espe
cially since agriculture experts
have not grown as fast as other
products, and dairy remains very
small as measured in dollars.
In related points, he said the
Dairy Export Incentive Program
(DEIP) should remain fully
funded within the requirements of
GATT, especially as the U.S.
dairy industry develops export
markets.
Also, development of value
added dairy exports (such as ice
cream, yogurt and specialty
cheeses) needs additional empha
sis. “This is the area most promis
ing to our industry’s future,” he
said.

LancMtsr Farming, Saturday, May 27,1H5-A2l
Current assessments on dairy
fanners (which pay for more than
half the cost of the dairy support
program) should be eliminated,
with monies that channeled into
helping the industry expand
export markets, he said.
Gardner also told the Congres
sional subcommittee that Class I
differentials should reflect supply
and demand conditions for fluid
milk in more local geographic reg
ions, not just the distance from
Eau Claire, Wis.; and that Con
gress should give serious consid
eration to expanding the Conser
vation Reserve Program to help
dairy and other livestock produc
ers pay for water quality-related
farm improvements.
Gardner, who operates a family
farm in Galeton, was president of
Eastern Milk Producers Coopera
tive before it merged with MMI.
The new MMI now has 9,000
member fanners who produce
nearly 6 billion pounds of milk
annually, making it the third
largest dairy cooperative in the
country.
