Dairy Support Cuts Seen Likely in Farm Plan Debates
Dr. Knutson urged dairy representatives to be reasonable as parity likely falls to about 75 percent. Dr. Dobson said compromise on long-standing issues is needed while a National Milk Producers Federation plan, favoring 75 to 90 percent parity, gains administration support. The plan, costing about 700 million dollars next year, aims to trim excess supply under a broader farm bill with concessions including no change to reconstituted milk rules, higher sell-back price to 110 percent, increased make allowance, and a cap on imported casein.

Dairy parity debate may hinge on 75 percent level
Point four could be the key concession from the Reagan administration if parity remains at 75 percent. A cap on U S casein imports could expand sales of nonfat dry milk, shrinking government purchases and easing price support. The dairy lobby faces power broker dynamics while the National Milk Producers Federation weighs its next move and a drift to the 1949 law's 75-90 percent range remains possible.

Dairy price crisis looms as March outlook warns of policy block
Observers fear legislative action could block the April 1 milk price adjustment, keeping the support price at 12.80 per hundred while costs rise 6.9 percent since October. AMPI's Irv Elkin warns farmers may struggle with higher fuel fertilizer and other costs, risking parity levels. Gary Hanman notes possible delay despite Rep. Tom Harkin's dairy stance, while some foresee a potential fall milk price of 14.73 dollars but few expect big moves.
