Freeman urges Congress for adequate dairy price supports
Minnesota Governor Freeman asked Congress to fix a dairy price support program and end barriers that block Minnesota milk from other regions. He cited reduced supports planned for April and urged maintaining aid until a new stabilization plan is ready, plus uniform sanitary rules and reform of milk marketing orders. He criticized the Agriculture Department for disaster relief in floods and urged funds for a Minnesota Bureau of Mines lab and job-creating mineral development. He highlighted Minnesota’s 2 percent of the population receiving only 1 percent of defense contracts and urged greater defense-ship production.
