Cut in Imports Begins Today
President Johnson cuts dairy product imports by about a quarter starting today to aid U.S. dairy farmers. New quotas target colby cheese and a butterfat sugar mix used in ice cream, with prices for milk seen rising 15 to 20 cents per hundredweight. Officials cite last year’s imports hurting prices and a large federal expenditure to buy surplus. The Pure Milk Association calls it a bold step toward balance and urges broader legislation to cap imports. Madison governor signs 4.1 million dollar school bus program into law and honors the sponsor’s legacy.
