Dairy Leader Demands End to Price Controls and Subsidies
Washington Bureau Charles W. Holman of the National Cooperative Milk Producers Federation told the Senate Banking and Currency Committee that subsidies should be eliminated by year end and price ceilings raised to cover costs. He called Bowles’ plan a colossal hoax, warning it distorts regional dairy prices, fuels black markets, and harms farmers and taxpayers. He cited 1945 dairy herd cuts linked to subsidy uncertainty and warned dairymen may slaughter cows as subsidies grow.
