County Reaction To Dairy Cut By Georgette Brown and Bill Mahlock SHAW MEDIA NCWS SiKVICf The Senate Agriculture committee's recom­ mendation to suspend a scheduled increase in the dairy price support level, if it passes Congress, will have both good and bad effects, local dairymen and HttdUtf ofj mu&Ual eHtenfautment AVAILABLE FOR: . ft, ^ -j WEDDINGS J BANQUETS PRIVATE PARTIES £ FORMAL AND SEMI FORMAL DANCES FOR PERFORMANCE INFORMATION CALL (815)385-3838 processors said Thursday. The support level in­ crease, scheduled to take effect April 1, would be 90 cents, from $13.10 to $14 per hundredweight. The price support level, set at 80 percent of parity, is used by the government to buy up surplus milk. Man­ datory adjustments in the level are made each April 1 and Oct. 1 to take farmers cost of production into ac­ count. The cancellation of the price support increase will save the government about $147 million, officials say. Suspending the increase is expected to reduce the milk products surplus from the projected 11.3 billion pounds to about 10.8 billion pounds, still almost 3 billion pounds more than last year. A spokesman lor Dean Foods said the company , would welcome foregoing the price support jump. "We feel that it would be a good idea because of -the price to the consumer", the spokesman said. "We believe it will have a favorable effect." The spokesman said the volume of milk handled by processors such as Dean's is likely to rise if the suspen­ sion passes Congress • If the price support in­ crease does take effect, he said, processors of milk products and the goverment could be in for some trouble. "We have to compete for sales with other types of beverages - coffee, tea, cola," the spokesman ex­ plained. "So if the price of milk gets disproportionally high, we're going to lose a lot of sales, and the government will have to buy up the surplus." While such a move would not mean wholesale changes in the dairy price support system, the spokesman speculated it soon may be governed under a com­ prehensive farm bill. "I think it would be a move for the better," he said. But the McHenry county dairymen had mixed reactions to the recom­ mended cancellation. McHenry County Farm Bureau manager Larry Harris said farmers generally favor the support remaining where it is to "help control the inflation spiral." He said it would probably not have a "serious effect" on farmers if the increase is not approved. Howard Perkins of Har­ vard, who milks 350 cows, said , his income would be lower without the increase. "But, I'll go along with U m long as (Reagan), cuts everything else,! he said. "We won't cut production (to offset surplus) or do anything different." "I don't like it," said Maynard McCullough, who milks 52 cows in Harvard. "Our expenses keep going up and if the increase isn't approved, where will we ick up the difference," cCullough said. "Why should dairy farmers be the first to get cut?" I won't cut production." & Robert Gerloff of Wood­ stock said he would con­ centrate on selling breeding stock to, help make up the difference of what he could have received through in­ creased support. He milks 33 cows. Fox Valley Chapter Secretaries To Meet SKCUL St. PATRICKS BAY MARCH 17* (MAKE RESERVATIONS NOW) STARTING MARCH 4th WED. thru SUN.
