Winchester Milk Assn Directors Set Annual Meeting Date
Winchester Cooperative Milk Producers Association directors met yesterday and set Wednesday February 19 for the annual membership meeting. They did not act on affiliating with the Maryland and Virginia Milk Producers Association. The plan would have had the Maryland and Virginia Association contract with local producers to supply local distributors with milk at about 5.95 dollars per cwt for Grade A milk if Washington standards were met, versus the current 5.40 paid by distributors. A study of price trends occupied much of the meeting, with officials noting a continued need for increased milk production.
