A CCC purchase price of $0.70 per pound for nonfat dry milk will result in a CCC butter purchase price of $1.24 per pound. So here is my logic. Lowering the CCC purchase price of non fat dry milk through a new tilt will not reduce USDA purchases of surplus powder in the U.S., and it will not encourage addi tional commercial exports of non fat dry milk. The global market for nonfat dry milk is like the U.S. market, weak and full to the brim! • FEED HANDLERS BELTS - FEEDERS - CONVEYORS SOMERSET BARN EQUIPMENT Somerset, PA 15501 814-445-5555 STAR SILOS Myerstown, PA 17067 717-866-5708 MARYLAND Lancaster Farming, Saturday, June 22, 2002-A2l The only logical result from a new tilt would be that USDA would have to start purchasing surplus butter from the market. Surely it is more expensive to store butter than it is to store nonfat dry milk! So in the short run, at least through the spring and early summer, a butter-pow der tilt would actually increase the cost of operating the dairy price support program. USDA could consider a new tilt when butter starts getting above $1.20 per pound, but that would not occur until later in the fall, if at all. By then, we’d al ready be into the fall Congres sional elections and that may not be a good time to potentially lower farm gate milk prices! Now, USDA might think differ ently than I do, and I could be wrong, but my guess is that a butter-powder tilt is not likely to occur this year. U. S.
