Higher milk prices likely lift dairy farm income
Washington scientists from the Agriculture Department project farm milk prices this year to rise about 4 to 5 percent over 1970 and dairy farmers’ gross income to increase at least 5 percent. The gains stem from higher production and a strengthened government price support program starting April 1, with butter price supports cut by two cents, while cheese and nonfat dry milk prices rise to lift overall dairy product prices.
