House rejects direct price support cut in dairy provisions

The House voted 244 to 166 to reject the Olin-Michel amendment for a straight 50 cent per hundredweight price cut as dairy government purchases exceed four billion pounds. The full House backed a dairy portion of the Unity Farm Bill with a paid diversion plan and whole herd buyout, signaling support but facing a Senate review and possible conference changes.

Dairy farm bill debate heats as GOP rural pressure grows

The House rejected the dairy price support amendments by 244 to 166 amid 74 GOP defections. Critics argue price supports boost food costs and overproduce dairy. Rep Madigan pressed Block to advocate for farmers, while Rep Gunderson defended a market oriented plan with lower government purchases. Debate on the 1985 Farm Bill continues with focus on wheat and feed grains.

Emergency dairy price support extended to 45 days

Congress approved an emergency 45 day extension of the milk price support system and related programs. President Reagan was expected to sign the bill retroactive to 12:01 a.m. to prevent a new permanent-law trigger and avoid a sharp price jump from 11.60 to over 16 dollars per hundredweight, a potential daily cost of seven million.
