Cheese Exchange shaped by Wisconsin dairy trade history
The National Cheese Exchange in Green Bay grew from Plymouth and Sheboygan County roots and affects milk pricing nationwide. With 42 members including Kraft and Beatrice, traders meet weekly to price cheddar in 40 pound blocks and 500 pound barrels, though the exchange is not a primary supply source.

Save the Family Farm Bill outlined at St. Paul conference
At the 3rd Annual Farm and Food Policy Conference in St. Paul on December 12, Senator Thomas Harkin and Rep. Richard Gephardt urged re introduction of the Save the Family Farm Bill in 1987. They warned of widespread farm bankruptcies without action and outlined two parts including debt restructuring and no interest loans, aiming to raise prices to parity. The effort faces strong opposition from banks and insurers, requiring a two thirds vote in both houses and a presidential veto risk, while supporters stress immediate relief and stronger farm control over supply and demand. A separate Nebraska precedent on farm ownership and sustainable agriculture was cited to argue for or against quotas, with emphasis on aiding farmers now. A tax guide for farmers, Publication 225, is available at county extension offices.
