Dairy price supports cut eyed by Reagan plan
GOP congressman Paul Findley told Wisconsin dairy farmers that the Reagan administration plans to cut milk price supports from 80 percent to 75 percent of parity. He warned that budget cuts would require sacrifice by all Americans, including dairy farmers. Senator Proxmire defended 80 percent parity with semiannual adjustments and urged production shifts to lift dairy surplus. Stewart Huber named president of Farmers Union Milk Marketing Cooperative. Nebraska led 1980 popcorn production with 180 million pounds, Indiana second at 122 million.
