W Harold Cope PMA marketing director told about 150 attendees that PMA backs USDA plan for a Chicago regional Federal milk market order with two exceptions the minimum Class I price is too low and Northwestern Indiana should not be included. PMA approves USDA inclusion of filled milk as a Class I product and the elimination of the supply demand adjuster and seasonal pricing that lowered producer prices. Cope said CMSA will bargain for higher producer prices through the PMA Chicago market pool with the Association of Operating Cooperatives to lessen reliance on government pricing.
