Low milk pay sparks anger among Maryland dairy farmers
Maryland dairy farmers protest unusually low May milk checks for July production. George Walgrove of the Maryland and Virginia Milk Producers Cooperative calls the drop temporary with forecasts of higher pay in September. Lewistown farmer Harold Lenhart, with 300 cattle, says checks fell from about 16.96 to 13.75 per hundred pounds since January 1985, as consumers pay more and farmers earn less. Frederick County reports 32,000 dairy cows on 280 farms, and 24 farms closed in 1997.
