Dairy price-support talk in Menomonie nays 79 grain embargo
Dunn County welcome prices for farmland. World population growth and rising feed grain demand frame remarks by Richard Douglas assistant deputy secretary of agriculture in Washington. He praised Reagan's economic package but criticized the 1979 grain embargo as ill conceived and urged participation in the corn set aside program to secure a guaranteed price. He urged dairy producers to reduce output to prove the dairy industry can help itself.

State Farm Bureau backs dairy overproduction penalty plan
The Wisconsin Farm Bureau endorses a dairy plan by Robert Cropp that would reward reduced milk output and penalize overproduction. The plan, to be pushed in Congress by Rep. Steve Gunderson, would set moving production bases, with penalties up to four to five dollars per hundred for surpluses, aiming to balance supply and demand and shift the burden from all producers to those expanding output.
