Free Economy Proposed for Milk Prices in Virginia
A Richmond consumers group urged the State Milk Commission to test a free economy for a year by allowing uncontrolled milk prices while keeping producer pricing. Attorney Israel Steingold argued this could lower consumer costs and revive a stagnant dairy industry, opposing current price fixing as stifling competition. He noted Virginia milk costs 22 to 25 cents a quart and cited an Ohio dairy selling at 13 cents a quart with high volume. The commission met amid requests from two Richmond dairies to cut farmers’ pay by $1 per hundredweight to enable a penny per quart cut.
