Butter Price Cut Backed by Dairymen in Senate Testimony
Washington March 16 A dairymen coalition led by the American Butter Institute urged a plan to reduce grocery butter by 23 cents a pound. Spokesman R H Farr asked for legislation authorizing CCC to finance a 15 percent price back, with testimony before the Senate committee. Other industry spokesmen cited CCC surpluses of over 503 million pounds of dry milk and 301 million pounds of butter held by CCC. Farr said the move would yield about a 2 cent downward retail effect, potentially cutting typical store butter to roughly 57 cents per pound from about 86 cents.
