NFO Activates Dairy Plant Pacts in Wisconsin
An officer of the National Farmers Organization says 25 contracts with Wisconsin dairy plants have been activated for premium milk payments to NFO members, though the Agriculture Department has not formally sanctioned them. The premium funds go to an NFO custodial account and are later distributed. Department officials weigh legality, with concerns over discriminatory pricing and pending research. Ed Graf estimates Wisconsin farmers lost about 217000 dollars due to the delay.
