PFB Seeks Continued Over-Order Price CAMP HILL (Cumberland Co.) In response to the con tinuing low milk price situation plaguing dairymen, Pennsyl vania Farm Bureau will be asking the Pennsylvania Milk Marketing Board (PMMB) to delay for six months a sched uled decrease in the over-order price. PMMB increased the over-order price from 50 cents per hundredweight (cwt.) of milk to 80 cents last October after PA Farm Bureau presented evidence showing higher produc tion costs were causing dairymen to lose money. At that ume, PMMB had set April 30,1997 as the date for the over-order price to decrease by 30 cents/cwt. and revert back to its pre vious level. ‘The devastating drop in milk prices this past winter has really put the average dairy farmer back under financial pres sure,” said Harold Curtis of Warren County, chairman of PA Farm Bureau’s Dairy Advisory Committee. “We need to hold off any further price cuts, such as a decrease in the over-order price, for at least six months.” PA Farm Bureau requested in January that PMMB hold a hearing on possible over-order price adjustments. A hearing dale has been set for April 9 in Harrisburg. PA Farm Bureau representatives will be on hand to testily on behalf of Penn sylvania dairymen. “Feed supplement costs continue to be high,” said Curtis, “and milk production is suffering. Dairymen need the assur ance of some price stability to help weather (Ik current situa tion.” The PMMB over-order price is paid to Pennsylvania pro ducers of Class I milk processed and sold within state boundaries. PA Farm Bureau is a statewide, voluntary farm organiza tion which represents 26,625 farm and rural families in 54 county farm bureaus. er, Carroll: 3. Brett Haines, Carroll.
