SALEM, Ohio — Milk marketing in Pennsylvania is expected to continue as it has in the past, after the state’s milk marketing board approved an amendment to over-order premiums.
A year ago, in response to a petition by former Gov. Ed Rendell and Sect. of Agriculture Russell Redding, the board approved a change in the formula for over-order premiums by removing the ratio of Pennsylvania-produced milk purchases, to total milk purchases.
The expectation was it would result in a higher mandated Pennsylvania over-order premium payments to Pennsylvania producers who ship to plants that also purchase out-of-state milk.
