Reuben and Janet Scholze run a 180 acre farm with 130 crop acres and 30 milk cows in Humbird. Their seven children include a son with a master's in engineering. They resent a federal dairy compromise bill forcing small producers to fund larger farmers’ relief by a 50 cent per 100 pounds milk tax, about $4,000 annually, with half diverted to pay others not to produce. They question eligibility for paid diversion despite not boosting herd size in 14 years.
