Wisconsin economist says inflation may lift milk price by 1985
State economist Dr. Cropp told tour participants that inflation could push milk prices by 1985 while dairy production holds. He noted Wisconsin production remains on a high path as other states slow, boosting out of state spot shipments and regional market share. He saw no threats from dairy imports, with 1.6 percent of 1977 production.
