Dairy price supports: farmers seek fair hourly return
Economist Robert G. Lewis frames dairy labor value in dollars per hour, arguing that at 80 percent parity a dairy farmer earns 3.57 per hour, rising to 7.30 at 90 percent parity and dropping to 1.71 or less if parity falls to 75. He urges a consumer-farmer alliance to pressure Congress for a fair return amid proposed milk price supports and broader policy reforms.
