Milk Prices Fall As States Drop Milk Price Controls
Milk costs ease for millions as states trim or end minimum retail price controls. California alone sees 2 to 5 cent cuts per half gallon, Alabama reports half price reductions in some stores, and nationwide more states drop controls with expected annual consumer savings of tens of millions. The debate centers on supply protection versus market freedom, with court battles in Massachusetts over constitutionality and opinions from industry groups and consumer advocates.

Milk case losses spur dairy industry action in New England
An industry study shows New England dairy losses at about 4 million dollars in 1975 due to milk case losses. About 1,000,000 cases were lost that year. Massachusetts lawmakers impose fines from 10 to 100 dollars for willful milk case misuse or theft. Idlenot Dairy, Vermont's largest processor, led a drive to recover lost cases and found 65 plastic cases in Vergennes.
