Third District Rep. Gunderson urged dairy groups to unite under one plan to solve national dairy problems.

NMPF plans base and checkoff face revisions this Friday
The National Milk Producers Federation board will meet Friday to finalize a dairy plan drafted last Thursday. Critics say the plan is too complex and costly, with alleged first year costs of 1.5 to 2 billion dollars. The proposal includes a 15 cent per hundred mandatory checkoff for promotion, a base year of 1981, and limited penalties, while some regional groups have not endorsed it.

Wisconsin turkey farmer seeks $19991 for eagle damage
Melrose businessman Thomas Hruza pursues a state claims board payout after an American bald eagle reportedly dive bombed his flock last summer. Lawyer Robert Radcliffe argues the state is liable because a DNR official advised against shooting the protected bird. The claim cites Grade A to C downgrades, 5 cent per pound price drop, and 19,746 remaining turkeys sold for $84,755. The board weighs the case on February 21.
