New Milk Contract Signed 

 At Bloomington 



(lass 1 milk, delivered under new 

 contracts with two Bloomington-Normal 

 distributors, will be paid for at the rate 

 of 32. 7S cents per hundred weight more 

 than the minimum evaporated milk code 

 price for s.s milk, announces the Mc- 

 Lean C^ounty .Milk Producers Association. 



The minimum evaporated code price 

 for September milk was SI.SS"" per 

 hundred weight for S.S milk. Using 

 this c|uotation and applying the terms 

 of the new agreement, the price for 

 Class 1 milk would be Sl.')l. 



Class 2 price was set at 2.62 cents over 

 the evaporated milk code price for 3.5 

 milk. The C lass 2 price under the 

 agreement would be SI. 61 per cwt. The 

 average price then, for a producer selling 

 (SO per cent of his milk in (.lass 1 and 

 lO per cent in (lass 2 would be Si."'') 

 per cwt for s.S milk. 



L'nder the new contracts, association 

 members will receive payments for milk 

 from the association rather than directly 

 from the distributors. Payments will 

 be made from funds collected hv the 

 .issociation from distributors and all 

 member producers will be paid the same 

 price per hundred weight for their milk." 

 says Wilfred Shaw, milk marketing di- 

 rector of the lAA.
