Philadelphia Milk Marketing Order Partially Suspended
The U S Department of Agriculture suspended the Philadelphia milk order’s supply demand adjuster for July August and September to maintain the April June Class 1 price level and avoid a 40 cent per hundredweight cut. The move followed a cooperative and milk handlers request and ties to a broader revision consideration begun after hearings in 1959 and a 1960 USDA recommended decision.
