Dairy farmer urges base plan to curb milk surplus
Damascus dairy farmer Robert M Hilton warns 80,000 dairy farmers could be forced out of business by new deductions on milk checks. He proposes a permanent base system with 298 or 1382 units, plus reforms to price and production, to control surplus and help younger farmers. He accuses USDA and Block of favoring their plan. Hilton letters to lawmakers and farmer groups seek support for his approach.
