Dairy price supports cut. Farmers union projects huge loss

Washington report notes House Agricultural committee defeated Kennedy's dairy price support plan by 30-13. National Farmers Union predicts a income loss of 250 to 300 million dollars for dairy farmers from April 1 through year end. President Patton calls the vote a staggering blow and warns of forced price cuts and added burdens on dairy farms as the law compels a drop to 75 percent of parity. Republicans counter that Freeman can keep supports high, while legal counsel argues he must reduce to 75 percent unless a stay is justified.
