Casein ruling shocks Wisconsin dairy community
The U S International Trade Commission sided against casein import quotas in a 4 1 vote saying imports from New Zealand Ireland and EC nations do not disrupt the U S dairy price support system The decision drew sharp reactions from UW Extension dairy economist Truman Graf and Rep Steve Gunderson who plans a new bill to limit casein imports to the last five years average about 125 million pounds per year Gunderson expects action next week while Graf warns the climate for such limits is poor amid a broader push to reduce surplus dairy products and avoid price increases for some foods The country Today notes the ITC will present its report to President Reagan January 29 with a public version released about a week later and cites ITC members opposing the ruling including chairman Bill Alberger and several party diverse commissioners.

Farmers urged to report 1981 acreages in Wisconsin
West central Wisconsin ASCS officials ask farmers to report 1981 grain acreages to obtain farm crop histories needed if a 1982 corn setaside is adopted. Reporting costs vary by crop, with oats possible at no cost if last year’s data were complete. Color slides and farm records will verify acreages for program participation through 1984.
