Denial urged on AMPI milk market order change

A USDA hearing examiner recommended denial of AMPI's request to modify Federal Milk Marketing Order 126 to grant Texas handlers temporary credits of 25 or 40 cents per hundredweight on Class III milk during December and March through June 1984. The plan faced opposition from Wisconsin officials and industry critics who warned of price competition effects, while AMPI argued surplus milk must be processed at its Texas plants and costs shifted to noncustomers. The tentative ruling, issued in the dairy section, remains open for public comment before final action.
