President Carter Boosts Milk Price Supports to 83 Percent
President Carter chose an 83 percent level for milk price supports, higher than secretary Bergland’s recommendation. The April 1 rate rises to 9 dollars per 100 pounds, up from 8.26, potentially raising consumer milk prices by about 6.2 cents per gallon in two to three months. The Agriculture Department offered three parity options, with White House aides guiding the final choice within a 75 to 90 percent range.

Great Plains Snowstorm Delivers Mixed Moisture to Parched Regions
A USDA weekly weather review notes significant precipitation from a Great Plains snowstorm across Colorado, Wyoming, Nebraska, South Dakota and Kansas, improving moisture for winter wheat and other crops. Washington, Oregon and Northern California also received limited moisture by March 18. The report cites greening wheat in Kansas and an anticipated 1977 harvest smaller despite gains, with a 1.1 billion bushel wheat stockpile projected by June 1. It also notes the Soviet Union’s favorable moisture conditions and a tight world export market for wheat.
