Dairy Industry Featured in Central Penn Business Journal |

Harrisburg: In an article by Paula Holzman in the January 15, 2010 issue of the Central Penn Business Journal entitled "Digging Out Dairy", Project Manager Gary Willier and Steering Committee Jeff Balmer were among a variety of folks who commented on the low dairy prices that made 2009 a bad year for the industry. Willier spoke to the effect of the 27% drop in prices on Lancaster County which is one of the top 10 dairy producers in the country. Lower prices led to less investment in infrastructure and more debt. Balmer and other producers addressed the need to re-examine government policy in light of the roller coaster of price increases and decreases.
Thanks to Gary and Jeff for representing the dairy industry and the Center of Excellence as we try to explain the industry to the public. |
