No Margin Of Farm Milk Prices Seen By Witnesses
Albany January 1 Referee Brown heard testimony at a milk price inquiry. Witnesses said production cost from Albany to Goshen ranges around 3 1 2 cents per quart, with all costs lifting price toward 10 cents per quart. They claimed the selling price is 3 1 2 cents, leaving little profit for farmers. They testified a milk dealers combine exists in New York and outlets are limited to the Consolidated Milk Exchange. The Borden Milk Company was said to fix contract prices through months, with the exchange reflecting those figures, implying consumer prices are set arbitrarily by a dealer bloc.
