School Milk Plan Expansion Expected
Washington officials predict a large expansion of the school milk program. Acting Agriculture Secretary Earl L Burly said many more individual schools will participate this year, with big city systems like Los Angeles St Louis and Kansas City joining. The two year program aims to raise milk consumption among children and reduce dairy surpluses. Last year over 41 000 schools and more than eight and a half billion children took part. Federal funding of about 59 million for the year has largely been apportioned. Officials expect participation to increase substantially, with improvements in purchasing options and price support.
