Wisconsin Commission Rejects Milk Haulers Petition
The Wisconsin Transportation Commission rejected the Wisconsin Milk Haulers Association petition to set maximum and minimum hauling rates, ruling it lacks authority for minimum rates and that price regulation would hinder efficiency. The proposal calls for written agreements between haulers and farmers, with a final decision after public comment. The petition was filed March 29, 1978, after extensive prehearing and hearings last October.
