ADADC is an advertising and promotion organization represent ing dairy fanners in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Clyde Rutherford reported that Dairylea markets 5 billion pounds of milk with 2,700 dairy farms. He said that a week ago, there were more people in the Superdome watching the Superbowl “than there are dairy farmers in the U.S.” The cooperative members are enjoying a better milk check for a combination of reasons: better price, lower input costs, and for ward contracting. A downside to making money in dairying has been the exorbitant feed costs. Earl Dehmey. milk sanitarian with the cooperative, said that the cooperative received a 91 overall score in 1996 from the U.S. Public Health Rating. “We appreciate your efforts to keep the standards high,” he told the producers.
