Hobbs Volleyball Team Wins Bronze Ontario dairy farmers will receive a price increase of $3. per hectolitre, (3.0® per litre) for milk produced for the fluid market, effective January 16, 1984. The increase, which represents a 6.45% change over the current price (5.16% on an annual equivalent basis) will be the first producers have received in 15 months (October 18,1982). In making the announcement, announcement, Board Chairman Kcn- eth G. McKinnon indicated that the price increase reflects the obvious need for higher producer returns, and at the same time recognizes the general need for restraint in the economy. He indicated that milk producers are only now beginning to recover from the adverse effects of high interest and energy related costs, which have added substantially to the cost of producing milk over the last two years. Mr. McKinnon noted that ; a producer price increase has : been delayed for as long as i possible. He said that, "while ' the economic formula, which the Board uses as a guide in setting producer prices, indicates that an even higher price is easily justifiable, the increase has been moderated, attempting to balance the needs of producers without unduly impinging on the marketplace during a time of : restraint." \ The 3.0® per litre increase . raises the farm price for raw ! milk in Southern Ontario from ; 46.48® to 49.48® per litre and in .• Northern Ontario from 47.77® ' to 50.77® per litre. "Since the Board only sets the prices paid to producers," concluded McKinnon, "we do . not know what the final ; consumer price will be."
