DHIA Secretary Urges Milk Production Cutbacks by Dealers
Red Rose Dairy Herd Improvement Association secretary Samuel Dunn of 2191 Greystone Road East Petersburg argues for production controls via dealer quotas to stabilize prices. He notes 25 percent of his milk earns no price about $200 per hundredweight while class II brings just over $3.00, with feed costs around $2.15. Dunn says farmers lose when cutting back unless quotas keep class I share intact, enabling profit.
