Northeast Dairymen Press Immediate Milk Price Rise
Dairymen across the northeast urge an immediate increase in milk prices to ensure an adequate supply for consumers. John C. York of the Eastern Dairy Coop cites high feed costs and sales to foreign nations as driving 10,000 farmers from the industry since 1969, with current price levels near 20 cents per quart and a proposed rise to about 9.60 per hundredweight for class 1 milk. The group seeks a $2 boost from the Cost of Living Council to persist through 1974, and plans to mobilize 10,000 northeast dairymen to march to Washington if needed. The cooperative covers New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maryland, and Delaware.
