In New York and Pennsylvania, 25 000 dairy producers see lower net income despite higher milk prices. The average 1971 blend price is 602 per cwt, up 2.2 from 1970, while production costs rise 6.3. Smith urges expanded milk promotion and coop support to stabilize markets and incomes.

Referendum Backed by Majority in New York Dairy Push
Robert S. Turner of the American Rally Assoc and Dairy Council of New York argues a statewide milk promotion referendum will boost sales. He cites 5¢ per cwt investments and 15 to 20 cents per capita spending as proven by other states and notes 37.9 percent of New York farms ran 100 days or more in 1961.
