Mr. Cropp outlines possible dairy provisions including a two tier price concept and a base around 11.60 to 12.10 per hundred pounds. He forecasts 1985 milk production rising to about 137.2 billion pounds with modest CCC purchases, while imports stay near 2.6 billion pounds. He stresses continued efficiency and Iowa’s position as a leading dairy state due to forage capability.
Economist Bob Cropp of Platteville argues dairying is Wisconsin’s best option given current agriculture conditions. He cites Wisconsin’s cheese image, proximity to major markets, a growing cheese market, higher milk prices, established marketing structures, potential milk price gains from mergers, ultrafiltration, possible reduction of western irrigation subsidies, and Holstein steer trade as factors supporting dairying.

James Geelan laments milk surpluses and supports a 10 percent cutback below a three year farm average to fit a milk production quota. He argues higher prices must accompany quotas, while Reagan era policies threaten dairy livelihoods. The family ties Irish heritage to farming and hopes to stay in business.
A Colorado State University study tests a differential reflectivity radar that distinguishes rain from hail by polarization patterns. Researchers say the system could identify hail in storms, helping weather forecasters and the public, and potentially reduce $700 million in crop losses annually.

A Page 1 correction notes the prior summary misstated the 1985 plan. The article now clarifies that Wisconsin farmers will plant less corn and more soybeans this year.
