Gunderson Cropp dairy plan hinges on milk quota system
The plan would set a 70 percent parity for 3.67 percent fat milk and base reductions at 10 percent of production. Producers not cutting would get 13.95 per hundred for 90 percent of base and 7.50 for the remaining 10 percent, while overproducers face fines. A National Dairy Board and state commissions would oversee assessments, with quarterly deduction from milk checks. The package claims higher net income for many dairymen due to raised support prices and cow-related gains, and expects a cost under current USDA projections.

Gunderson Cropp dairy plan aims to cut output and boost income
Congressman Gunderson outlines a quota based dairy plan triggered by a milk surplus of 5.7 billion pounds, with penalties for overproduction and allowances for hardship. The scheme would reduce overall production by about 10 percent and could be funded by shifts in government milk purchases, raising Wisconsin dairy farmers' net income by about 81 million dollars annually.
