Exports and dairy price supports debated at UW conference
At the Wisconsin Governor's Conference on Agricultural Policy 350 leaders met at UW Arlington Experimental Farm. Aims centered on expanding export markets and preserving dairy price supports at 80 percent parity. Gov. Lee Dreyfus urged caution in federal policy while boosting marketing funding by 32 percent. He noted 85 percent of state farm products leave the state and cited modest farm price increases since 1967. A Kraft Foods official pressed for keeping 80 percent parity as the dairy price schedule rises on April 1, eliciting applause. Cautions rose about potential loss of supports and farm losses if parity falls or ends.
