cial to obtaining research fund
ing and government support on
various issues.
In late December, approxi
mately 1,767 Pennsylvania flo
riculture operations will receive
questionnaires for this survey
and in December, non re
spondents will be contacted by
an interviewer for either a tele
phone or personal interview. It
is vital to record this growth so
supporting industries and poli
cy makers can provide neces
sary resources. For example,
leaders from the Pennsylvania
Floral Industry Association en
courage grower participation in
this survey, because it is crucial
to have accurate data on the
floriculture industry.
Results from the survey will
be released April 24, 2003, in
the “2003 Floriculture Crop
Summary” report. It will also
be available on the Internet at
http://www.usda.gov/
nass/.
PMMB
Announces
Class I
Price
HARRISBURG
(Dauphin Co.) The
Pennsylvania Milk
Market Board
(PMMB) announced
the prices to be paid to
Pennsylvania (dairy
farmers for November
Class I milk (bever
age) as an average of
$14.65 in the western
areas of the common
wealth, and an aver
age of $15.14 in the
central and eastern
areas of the common
wealth. These prices
include the over-order
premium of $1.65 per
one hundred pounds
of milk.
Farmers, whose
milk production is
pooled under a federal
order will receive a
marketwide blend
price based upon the
value of all classes of
milk. However, the
blend price received
will vary as the com
ponent composition of
a farmer’s milk differs
from the established
benchmarks of 3.5
percent butterfat, 2.9°
percent protein, and
5.69 percent other so
lids.
