Milk in the Southern Michigan Marketing Area; Reopened Hearing on Proposed Amendments to Tentative Marketing Agreement and Order

Resumo

A hearing held in February 1993 to consider proposals to adopt multiple component pricing for milk pooled under the Southern Michigan marketing order is being reopened to consider modifications to the pricing plan recommended for that order. Additional proposals would authorize the market administrator to adjust pool supply plant shipping requirements to reflect changes in marketing conditions. The reopened hearing will also consider a proposal to ``lock in'' to regulation under the Southern Michigan order a UHT packaging plant that otherwise may be regulated under a different Federal order each month. A request to consider the ``lock in'' proposal on an emergency basis also will be considered. The reopening was requested by cooperative associations representing most of the producers whose milk is pooled under the Southern Michigan order.
