Growth hormone called awesome product for dairy growth
Wisconsin veterinarians heard Cornell economist Robert Kalter describe a bovine growth hormone that could lift milk output by about 25 percent. He warned prices would fall, forcing marginal farms out and prompting government support changes. He noted larger herds, preventive herd health, and near term FDA review with potential 1987 1988 approval.

Wisconsin utilities study on acid rain costs
A study by Wisconsin utilities and the Public Service Commission staff backs a plan to cap sulfur dioxide emissions. It finds reducing acid rain pollution by 50 percent from 1980 levels would cost about 1.03 dollars monthly for Wisconsin Electric Power Co. customers and 3.49 dollars for Wisconsin Power & Light Co. customers.

Utilities seek lower sulfur dioxide through low-sulfur coal
The study argues utilities can cut sulfur dioxide by switching to low-sulfur coal without scrubbers. Estimates show monthly 500 kWh customers would pay about $1.32 to $1.35. Lawmakers back AB 547 to cap emissions at 270,000 tons yearly in 1988, down from 500,000. Critics say data may be optimistic and urge more study before moving forward.

Economist explains Wisconsin dairymen on buyout plan
UW Madison economist Ed Jesse analyzes survey results showing dairymen split between supply managed plans and free market options.

The study, led by Gonzalez and Read, involved students and was funded by multiple farm groups and publications.
