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.
