Farmers Association Highlights Food Dollar Share Debate
Lancaster Farming reports on a farmers association meeting where speakers argue that only 18 cents of the consumer food dollar reaches farmers while non food items inflate the cost. They note consumer anger, set 1967 membership goals above 1,100, and reelect six directors to two year terms.

Milk Support Price Set For 1967 68 Dairy Year
Secretary Orville Freeman announced a 4.00 per hundredweight dairy herd support price for manufacturing milk will continue through the 1967 marketing year. The plan includes 68 cent butterfat support and reserves up to 20,000 for county extension work, with Lancaster County noting funding is insufficient. A testimonial dinner for retiring Congressman Paul Dague is planned for November 25 at the Dutch Town and Country Inn.
