Detroit Major Market Pays Over Federal Order Says MMPA
MMPA president Glenn Lake reports Detroit is the only major market in the nation with premium milk prices above the Federal Order. For March and April the premium is a per hundred over Federal Order prices, 52c for May through July. Detroit Class I milk prices will average 53c over Toledo and 95c over Chicago. Delegates realigned prices for five months amid Toledo competition and Chicago mix influx. Lake notes firm MMPA stand forced Detroit dairies to cut mix retail price by le per quart. Price terms faced initial opposition from several large dairies but were accepted after MMPA clarification. A large dairy letter cited opposition to paying above Federal Order prices yet agreed due to circumstances. Lake urged Detroit dairies to meet competition to protect the market as Detroit Sales Committee accepted signed dealer price agreements last Friday.
