Wisconsin farm groups back production control bill aim
Seven Wisconsin farm organizations gathered Sept. 22 to back a production control bill dubbed Save the Family Farm Act. They claim it costs the federal government nothing, saves and creates tens of thousands of dairy jobs, and includes disaster reserves and credit programs. The measure would involve producer referendums and potential federal regulation of major commodities with price supports near parity.
