"We want to make this the buy

Reservations are required. Con-
(Contlnued from Pag* A 10)
Well, our dairy fanners manage
and care for herds of animals
which provide a large food supply
to this country.
According to our government,
it is okay for those involved in the
so-called support businesses to
charge more than enough for their
livelihood (ie. “what the market
will bear”). These costs have more
than doubled, even quadrupled, in
the same amount of time (fifteen
years +) that has seen no increase
in the price received for the raw
milk, thus leaving the dairy farmer
financially strapped. Today, what
the government is doing to the
American dairy farmer by drop
ping the amount paid per 100 wt
of milk is like asking the average
consumer to go to the bank and

take money out of his own savings
account in order to get paid on the
job.
We can talk about the injustices
in the labor forces in China and
the 3rd World Countries etc., but
we have only to look in our own
backyards on the dairy farm and at
the paltry compensation paid to
the farmer and set by our own U.S.
government.
Serious consideration must be
given to this situation by those
who have been placed in the posi
tion of responsibility. Taking on
meaningful action is as criminal as
taking deliberate irresponsible
action.
