New Farm Law Expands Milk Marketing Control
The 1950s farm measure grants Secretary Benson broad power to dispose of surplus dairy stocks, with the CCC allowed to supply butter and ice cream to armed forces and VA hospitals. The plan aims to boost milk consumption, especially by schoolchildren, potentially spending up to 50 million dollars annually through June 30, 1956. USDA experts estimate this will raise consumption.
