Milk Differentials To Increase In Athens Area
The Agriculture Department says a proposed amendment to the Tri State Federal Milk Marketing order would raise Class I milk differentials in the Athens area by 7 cents. The order covers Ashland Kentucky Charleston Huntington Parkersburg West Virginia and Galliapolis and Portsmouth Ohio. Charleston Huntington would see 1.55 and Gallipolis Scioto Athens districts 1.47 in contrast to current 1.60 1.50 and 1.40. Galties would combine into Athens Scioto district. Proposals include 15 cent extra per hundredweight for cottage cheese producer milk and a lower Class I butterfat differential. Approval hinges on two thirds of local dairy farmers via cooperative poll. The decision reflects a Charleston hearing August 22–23 and mirrors the January 3 recommendation.
