Toledo Dairy Strike Vote Friday
About 1,000 dairy farmers will vote Friday on withholding milk from the Toledo market to pressure higher prices. A shortage could occur if milk is diverted to other markets as spokesman Glen Wagner of Northwest Co-Operative Sales Alan said the vote likely favors withholding until demands are met. The dispute began February 1 after federal order premiums dropped from 1.65 to 1.25 per hundredweight, with 1.25 in effect until July. Farmers seek 1.65 for February and March and 1.50 until July, while home-delivered milk costs 23 cents a quart. A 1958 milk boycott threat previously led dairies to concede then raise retail prices.
