In over 75 urban markets federal orders set producer prices and local sanitary rules limit markets to nearby dairymen, drawing criticism from Midwest surplus producers. Minnesota Governor Freeman, named to head agriculture, is questioned on whether he will back marketing reform. Legislation for a national uniform sanitary code aims to promote free milk movement, potentially aiding Midwest access to Northeast markets.
