Each producers milk will be tested for fat and protein. The test values will then be fed into a computer that has been programmed to predict the pounds of cheese that can be ' produced from 100 pounds of the milk. A milk price per pound of cheese yield multiplied by the pounds of cheese that can be made from 100 pounds of milk will determine the price paid to the farmer. This change represents a substantial innovation in milk purchasing that will distribute the income from cheese sales to producers in a fair and equitable manner. The current price system does not. In keeping with its traditional progressive leadership in the Cheese Industry, Cache Valley Dairy Association is the first plant in Utah to adopt this new payment program that was developed by the Department of Nutrition and Food Sciences at Utah State University Mr. Blaine Rich, General Manager of Cache Valley Dairy indicated that this is another first for CVDA and predicted that sooner or later other cheese factories will adopt this or a similar program. The initial milk price is expected to be $1 25 per pound of cheese yield, but this will vary from time to time with the price of cheese If a farmer produces milk testing 3.5 fat and 3.2 protein his milk price will be essentially the same under the current price program. If his fat and protein tests are higher than that, he will receive more for his milk than he does now. On the other hand if his tests are lower, he may receive less. In general, the new price program should encourage the production of milk with a higher fat and protein content because efforts in that direction will be rewarded. Sample price schedules for milk with specific fat and protein tests are being sent to all Cache Valley Dairy producers. , . icjiaizcapiioca Now's The Time to Buy a New Home We can have you in a new Custom Built Home within 120 days of loan approval. - FREE PLANS - Free Estimates Help Arrange Financing Top Quality Materials & Workmanship Our low prices will be a welcome change!
