Beekeeping groups urge against honey loan cuts
Southern States Beekeepers Federation decries Reagan administration plans to end the federal honey loan program. They warn the move could collapse much of U.S. beekeeping, noting the loan program kept honey prices stable by allowing producers to hold and sell later. The group cites rising imports, trade policy, and government purchases as factors driving the shift, urging gradual reductions instead of abrupt elimination. The piece also covers UW Stevens Point forest day and a Wisconsin Ayrshire Breeders Association sale details.
