Dairy Groups Urge Higher Milk Prices In Hearing

They argued the boost would cost consumers about one cent per quart and help ensure orderly marketing amid concerns of possible producer strikes and supply safeguards. Opponents from Spink County and nearby areas warned of no emergency and adequate supplies at current prices.
