Price Support Bill Increases Dairy and Crop Prices
A House Agriculture Committee measure tentatively approved would raise milk by eight cents a gallon and butter by 20 cents a pound while cheese climbs 10 cents per pound. The bill also lifts price supports for wheat corn and cotton toward parity with costs, with quarterly readjustments and projected up to 3.72 million in government costs if all crops fall short. Farmers seek price-floor insurance before next planting window.
