Nation's dairymen fear opens to foreign imports
Danville AP copy reports Nixon administration pushes to let more foreign dairy products into the U.S. market, seen as pressure on domestic producers. Patrick B. Healy of the National Milk Producers Federation says 1974 will be another open season for dairy farmers as imports rise, with GATT negotiations in Geneva amid a world energy shortage. Healy and others warn U.S. output could decline if policies liberalize trade, citing the Flanigan Report predicting drops in milk and shifts to beef unless policy changes occur. Nixon's Jan 2 move to allow 100 million pounds of foreign cheddar in 1974 is viewed as a major factor. Healy accuses a posturing double-cross tied to an earlier deal on quotas and price supports.
