Dairy policy split over diversion vs price cut in farm bill
House debate centers on a paid dairy diversion program funded by producer assessments or a cut in the support price to $9.50 per hundredweight. If the diversion fails, the price drop could reach about $2 under current levels, with 1.2 billion dollars allocated for dairies in the farm bill. Debate covers government purchases, buyouts for quitting milk, regional price differentials, and potential Senate resistance to a diversion plan.
