Laird Sees Slim Odds for Self-Help Dairy Plan
Rep. Melvin Laird of Wisconsin unveiled a self help dairy bill for the 86th Congress on January 7 but warned its passage is unlikely. The proposal would create a 12 district dairy stabilization board with borrowing power up to 300 million dollars and quotas enforced by penalties. Support comes from the National Grange and several dairy groups, but opposition exists in the American Farm Bureau, with other unions backing different approaches.
