Dairy Price Shifts Stir Dairy Farmers and Politicians
Dairy farmers and some lawmakers reacted to the new government price cuts on butter, cheese, and dried milk aimed at reducing surpluses. The shift lowers support prices by about 8 to 9 cents a pound for butter and is expected to push retail butter toward 65 to 70 cents a pound, with cheese and dried milk following. Senators Humphreys and Kefauver sought to delay the cut, while others pressed for higher support, though no method yet guarantees dairymen a fixed price level.
