A42-Lancaster Farming, Saturday, May 17, 2003 CWT Outlines Buyout (Continued from Page A 1) “The dairy industry has an op portunity to impact its own desti ny.” Heatwole outlined the pro posed 12-month program as it has been developed so far. A number of details are still being worked out, he said. One of CWT's chief goals is to eliminate 125,300 U.S. cows through a “herd retirement pro gram.” Herds would be selected and purchased through the low est voluntary producer bids based on annual hundredweight pro duction. The selected herds would be committed to slaughter to ensure they do not return to a milking operation. Heifers and calves would not be included in the buyout, Heat wole said, noting that the intent is not to eliminate any dairy farmers. “This is not a program to get farmers out of production it is a program to get cows out of pro duction,” he said. “The objective is to (eliminate) the largest number of cows at the lowest possible price.” Producers can also bid on an About 50 dairy farmers and others attended the CWT meeting in southeastern York County Thursday evening to hear how the national, farmer-funded program might boost milk prices.

The third part of the plan is to provide incentive to dairy manu facturers and exporters to sell more U.S. dairy products abroad. Employing these three aspects of the plan, CWT’s goal is to re duce national milk supplies by 2.7 percent about 4.6 billion pounds over the next year. That would raise average milk prices a projected $1.30 per hundred weight. For herds of about 125 cows or less, however, reduction in Farm Bill payments under the Milk In come Loss Compensation (MILC) program would cut the overall benefit down to about 70 cents per hundredweight. Even so, that’s about 50 cents per hundredweight returned to the producer above the 18 cent per hundredweight investment in the program, Heatwole noted. Heatwole showed the group a graph of the U.S. divided into five regions the Northeast, Southeast, Upper Midwest, West, and Southwest. CWT is targeting the West and Southwest to cut back pro duction far more than in the east ern regions and Upper Midwest. West and Southwest regions are targeted to reduce production by 5 percent and 4.3 percent, re spectively. In the other three regions, in cluding the Northeast, the goals for reduction are only 0.5 per cent. Several producers at the meet ing asked why dairy producers in the east are being called on to help pay for a problem that ap pears to have been caused by dairy herd expansions in the west. The milk price dilemma is not that simple, according to Heat wole. “(Producers from other re gions) have different ideas of what caused the problem,” he said. “No region can act indepen dently from the rest of the coun try.” Some farmers at the meeting expressed concern that CWT buyout price levels would be too low to be feasible and that that could cause the 18 cent per hun dredweight fee to go even higher. Heatwole promised the fee won’t be set any higher. “If the price goes over 18 cents, the program is going to die,” he said. While non-contributing farm ers and co-ops would, in essence, get a “free ride” from the pro gram, that’s no reason for the rest of the nation’s dairy produc ers “to sit around and do noth ing,” Heatwole said. Heatwole said tl expect dairy im ports to take the place of any re duction in U.S. milk supplies brought about by the CWT program. He also noted that milk pro cessors, as well as large retailers such as Wal- Mart, will likely be supportive of the concerted dairy effort be cause it aims to take care of their milk sup pliers. Dairy indus try representa tives are lobby i n g in Washington to curb milk pro tein concentrate (MFC) imports and address other trade is sues, establish effective price support floors, and adopt dairy compact legisla tion. “There is no single solution to this issue (of low milk prices),” Heat wole said.
