Dairy farmers back supply management amid price concerns
Wisconsin farmers and dairy leaders testified on dairy policy arguing against further cuts in milk price supports and favoring a voluntary supply management system with a dairy diversion program. AMPI's Irv Elkin said incentives drive production reductions while UW professor emeritus Graf backed a price support level of 11.60 with a supply management framework. Howard Richards warned the federal government has minimized agricultural financial risk, urging clear action.
