Milk price hearing turned down by Butz
Vermont Agriculture Commissioner Leo O'Brien's bid for a federal emergency hearing on raising milk prices was denied by Agriculture Secretary Earl Butz. The move would have adjusted August and September milk orders using the previous month’s base price, speeding higher Seasonal prices and boosting Class I milk by about 24 to 27 cents per hundredweight. The USDA said prices are already rising and adequate supply remains, while O'Brien accused the agency of ignoring production costs and focusing on supply availability.
