Delegates at the Mid-America Dairymen meeting in St Louis heard Deputy AGRI Sec Richard Lyng say any new dairy plan likely must include a cut in the milk price support. He warned the administration would reject plans it views as too complex while urging flexibility, yet emphasized a price-support stance to preserve milk supplies and farmer livelihoods.
