University of Wisconsin dairy economist Robert Cropp urged critics of dairy provisions to seek a seat on the agriculture committee. He noted Wisconsin’s dwindling political clout in Washington and contrasted Senate and House leadership, urging more direct negotiation rather than blame. He also discussed dairy policy tactics like dehydration and reconstitution and pressed for Midwest unity on reform.
