Wisconsin Dairymen Press for Independence in Markets
A nine member Wisconsin group led by Farm Bureau President Percy Hardiman met with Special Assistant Harry McPherson to demand no government handouts and assurance the administration will leave dairy markets to develop independently. They cited butter margarine substitutions and a Johnson suggestion to switch housewives to margarine as harming dairy promotion efforts and prices amid inflation fears. McPherson noted the administration aims to cool the overheated economy and understands farm price hardships. The group warned of possible changes to the U S cheese import quota request to the Tariff Commission.
