Milk Price Control Urged By Farmer
A South Carolina dairy farmer urged lawmakers to retain milk price controls to avoid a price war if retail minimums are removed. Sam McGregor from near Columbia warned that dairying is complex and production costs vary by state, with about 500 farmers remaining in the state. He cited that ten processors handle 99 percent of state milk, and noted current controls set minimums of 63 cents a half gallon and 32 cents a quart with a delivery add-on.
