Maryland Virginia Milk Producers Hold 53rd Annual Meet
About 400 members and guests of the Maryland and Virginia Milk Producers Association gathered at the Shoreham in Washington, D. C., for the 53rd annual meeting highlighting a tight milk price picture amid overall food cost rises. USDA official Herbert L. Forrest warned against drastic price hikes, noting milk costs to farmers up 4.5 percent due to higher feed prices while consumer milk remains comparatively affordable. General Manager James E. Click reported a 2.2 percent rise in production and a net loss of 39 producers, as the dairy sector faces feed-price pressure and market squeeze into 1973. President Edward C. Norman called 1972 a tough year under wage-price controls, with future Phase III adjustments looming.
