BENEFITSALI MILK PRODUCEF
The new Federal Government policy of price support and direct payments
vvitl give all dairy farmers increased returns for, their milk, whether they ship
manufacturing milk, fluid milk or cream. The new policy is designed to bring
economic stability to the dairy industry and•prevent runaway consumer price
increases by ensuring adequate supplies of dairy products.
The Federal'Govern_
ment will- pay the
farmer 75c for each
hundredweight of
manufacturing
milk with a 3:5% butterfat content.
Another 10c will be. put in reserve
to assist the export of by-products
and surpluses.

MANUFACTURING MILK SHIPPERS: You will re-
ceive a direct payment from the Federal Government of
75 cents per hundredweight on all milk. Your payment will
be made monthly by cheque from Ottawa: .
FLUID MILK PRODUCER$:°You will receive 75 cents
a hundredweight on all milk over 120 per cent of the
amount for which -you receive fluid prices. For instance,
if your dairy pays you fluid prices on 10,000 pounds.in a
certain month, you will receive the government payment
on all milk over 12,000 pounds. Cheques will be mailed
once a month from Ottawa directly to you.
CREAM PRODUCERS: You will. receive 21.43 cents
per pound of butterfat '(the equivalent of 75 cents per
hundredweight of milk with a 3.5% butterfat content).
Because time is required to complete the rebistration of
producers and':to set Lip a reporting system, your cheques
will go out from Ottawa every three months. '

Because the fat content of
milk varies, the 75 cent direct
payment is based on a sten- "

content in milk. This works
out to 21.43 cents per pound
of butterfat. If your milk tests
4 per cent, then your payment
will be -four times 21.43 or
