Farm support bill faces House vote amid opposition
The Ford administration disputes the bill’s dairy and crop price supports as costly to consumers. If enacted, milk would rise by 8 cents per gallon, butter 20 cents per pound, and cheese 10 cents per pound. The measure would lift dairy supports to 85 percent of parity and expand credit guarantees for farmers, drawing criticism from Butz and White House allies who warn of higher prices and reduced production incentives.
