A32 -Lancaster Farming, Saturday, March 20, 1990 KANSAS CITY, Mo. Dairy Farmers of America (DFA) has expressed general satisfaction with a plan announced last week by the U.S. Department of Agri culture (USDA) to distribute $2OO million in market loss payments to the nation’s dairy farmers. The USDA distribution formula is modeled after a plan re commended last year by the Na tional Milk Producers Federation (NMPF), and strongly supported by DFA, with the exception of provisions for payment caps. “The important thing is that these payments are coming at a time when dairy farmers are ex periencing a steep decrease in farm prices for milk,” said DFA Board Chairman Herman Bru Farmer Boy Ag Systems, inc. 717-866-7565 or 800-845-3374 VENTILATION ii 1 Your Complete Fan Supplier Divisionol <|s|) MAXI-BRUTE'" SLANT-WALL BELT DRIVE FANS LIFETIME-GUARANTEED FIBERGLASS COMPOSITE HOUSINGS • Never rust • Never need painting • Lifetime-guaranteed fiberglass composite props • Choose 36", 42" or 48” size • Aluminum motor mounts • Er'-ov-etfr * Sla r Wall Hi if Lifetr -Gr "anleed Lil Z < «&> FEED BINS 111 DC El % |!

The Ohio dairy farmer ex plained that dairy producers across the nation have just experi enced a one-third drop in the farm price of milk. “Although these payments of 18-20 cents per hundredweight will not cover the $6 per hundred weight expected drop in farm milk prices this spring, they will be helpful as milk production peaks and prices are at the lowest levels of the year,” Brubaker said. “Dairy Farmers of America joined other dairy organizations last fall in pushing for the market loss payment program,” Brubaker said. The dairy payments were part of a $6 billion package of emergency aid assistance for farmers that Congress included in Ventilation IjLIjL System Experts aeratech Beating the Summer ||hHl Heat with wHEp Ventilation . , <fk \ ; f i x ■ Agricultural Industries ncGirv^^ivrrtMS V lAN the Fiscal Year 1999 budget The USDA will make payments based on a dairy operation’s first 26,000 hundredweight of milk produced in 1998 or 1997, which ever is the highest. All dairy farm ers who produced milk during the last quarter of 1998 are eligible for the payment. To receive payment, farmers may apply at their local Farm Ser vice Agency office from April 12 until May 21,1999. The final pay ment rate per hundredweight will be calculated after the sign-up ends. USDA estimates that the rate will be between 18 and 20 cents per hundredweight. Brubaker expressed his appre ciation to the many members of Congress who recognized the SSSB CfickMate needs of dairy producers for the market loss program and aided in convincing the USDA that the plan supported by DFA was the right way to distribute the market loss funds.
