Congressman Steve Gunderson of Osseo pressed for maintaining a sliding 75 to 90 percent parity under a revised dairy price support, while the House committee rejected the plan. He warned the Reagan budget plan would cut support to 65 or 70 percent, risking higher milk production costs for new farmers amid persistent surpluses.
