Reagan administration and some Democratic farm leaders argue for cautious changes to the year-old Food Security Act. Congress critiques show optimism in exports not matching lower federal crop supports. USDA forecast projects 1987 farm exports near $26 billion, edging down from prior nine-year low.
Congressman David Obey sharply challenged Agriculture Secretary Richard Lyng after Lyng urged no changes to dairy policy for the next year or two at the National Milk Producers Federation convention in Las Vegas. Obey called current policy a disaster and urged a 4 to 5 year interim supply management plan to curb surpluses while noting ongoing price cuts and rising shipments.
Wisconsin congressman Steve Gunderson urged dairy producers to unite behind a long term price support policy to avoid future price cuts and to ensure access to affordable new technology. He emphasized consistency, unity, and considering global trade talks, while noting an optional freeze at 11.35 per hundredweight if unity fails. In Sheboygan County, awards were announced for conservation farming and water quality.
