THE YANCEY RECORD Farm News The USDA has announced national average support prices of $3.24 per hundredweight for manufacturing milk and 54.9 cents pe- pound of butlerfat for the 1965-66 marketing year, prices that reflect 75 percent of the parity prices for the two commodities. The comparable prices for the 1334-65 market lag year—also at 75 percent of parity—were $3.15 and 58.0 cents Dairy support prices are mandatory between 90 percent of parity. The law re quires that the Secretary of Agriculture set, within this range, the level “necessary in o dcr to assure an adequate suppy.” MLk production in the 1964- 65 marketing year has been 1 percent more than a year ear lier and consumption of milk and its products has increased slightly less. The quantities of dairy p-o --ducts removed or diverted from the domestic ma ket, through price support purchase and commercial exports under the payment -in - kind program, have been moderately larger in 1964-65 than a year earlier. The outlook is for the quantity removed or diverted to be at least as large in 1965-66 as in 1964-65. In carrying out the program to support prices to farmers for milk and butterfat, USDA will as in the past offer to i urc • e ho * • Cheddar cheese, and ronfat d y milk in carlot quantities. Because the parity and support prices are h'gher. the announced pur chase prices a”e increased by one cent a pound for butter and one-half of a cent for Cheddar cheese. The purchase price fer nonfat dry milk in sealed 103-pound bags contin ues unchanged, and the price in unsea'ed bags continue will end. Experience indicates that these purchase prices will keep producers' average re turns at the national average support levels announced to day for the coming marketing year. / Sixty-fivt Connviitigs Enter Coates?
