Dairylea Joins Effort To
Help Producer Income
SYRACUSE, N.Y. Con
cerned with the alarming cost/
price squeeze that could force
thousands of milk producers out
of business, Dairylea Cooperative
Inc. has joined with the National
Milk Producers Federation
(NMPF) in requesting specific
federal action from the U.S. De
partment of Agriculture (USDA)
to help dairy producers deal with
record high grain prices, low beef
prices, weather-reduced feed sup
plies and lackluster dairy produce
exports.
In a recent letter to Secretary
Glickman, Dairylea President
Clyde Rutherford urged the
USDA to “take action immediate
ly to alleviate the harmful effects
of adverse conditions on the na
tion’s dairy farmers.”
Rutherford is also standing be
hind the recommendations of
NMPF’s chief executive officer
Jim Barr, who is calling for the
USDA to:
• Make advance government
dairy product purchases for do
mestic food assistance programs;
• Fully implement 19% Farm
Bill provisions to strengthen the
Dairiy Export Incentive Program
Dairy Tour To
Lebanon, Manheim
LEBANON (Lebanon Co.)
Are your considering changes to
your dairy farm? If you answered
maybe or yes, then consider at
tending a tour designed for dairy
farmers.
The July 17 tour, sponsored by
RISA (Regional Infrastructure for
Sustaining Agriculture) and the
Penn State Dairy MAP project
includes two dairy farms loaded
with excellent ideas. The two
dairy farms featured are Hershey
Brothers Dairy in Manheim and
David and Christine Williams
Farm in Lebanon. Both farms
have high production herds and
utilize a variety of management
tools and technologies.
Featured at the Hershey Bro
thers Dairy will be their 200-cow
modem confinement facility built
in 1992. Learn from the Hersheys
how they manage their operation,
including their partnership.
At David and Christine Wil
liams 60-cow farm, you will see
“We're proud to be part of a financially
sound cooperative. Atlantic does its
best to get the greatest return from the
marketplace. ”
ADC Is the Place To Be
Financial stability and the greatest return from the marketplace
- the outstanding benefits that Jeff Moore refers to - are among the
strengths of the premier dairy cooperative in the region.
Atlantic Dairy Cooperative has a 78-year history of excellent
service to its members. Financially strong, ADC guarantees a market
for all member milk and excels in maximizing returns. ADC is a
leader in providing equity payments, quality bonuses qnd over-order

“Dairy farmers must write im
mediately to Secretary Glickman,
describing their own personal
situation on, feed costs, cattle
prices and profit margins," said
Rutherford. “We must urge the
USDA to take the necessary ac
tions to mitigate the present price/
cost crunch. Such action will sus
tain the farm operations of many
of the nation’s dairy producers,
and will allow the dairy industry
to move forward during this eco
nomically challenging time.”

dairy farmer-owned cooperative
with more than 2,600 member-
farms throughout the Northeast It
markets more than 4.5 billion
