Compact be contiguous. Not

agrees the Compact is the answer
to the pricing problems, but there
was no dissenting voice at this
discussion.

Tewksbury, Progressive Ag

the Compact will give price
stability and predictability to milk
prices to farmers and help to
maintain an adequate supply of
milk to consumers.
Tom Williams owner of the
farm, said with the large number
of consumers in the Northeast, the
Dairy Compact would be a “win,
win” situation for everybody,
both farmers and consumers.
Pennsylvania will hold
hearings on the subject as early as
Tuesday.
