Price support cut avoided but new dairy levy set
Midwest dairy farmers win a partial victory as Congress enacts a reconcilation bill imposing a 2 cent per hundred pounds milk levy to help finance reduced agriculture spending. A 50 cent cut in the Class III milk support price is anticipated for Jan 1, 1988, potentially lowering the price from 11.10 to 10.57 per 100 pounds through Oct. 1, 1989. Bob Cropp estimates Wisconsin producers could lose 6,000 to 7,000 annually without the levy, now about 150 to 160 with the assessment, varying by figures used. Page A2.
