Milk Price Supports Extended With Warning From Carter
Washington AP President Carter signed a bill renewing the milk price support at 80 to 90 percent of parity for two years while warning that excess production could trigger stock build ups at taxpayer expense. He urged Congress to grant authority to adjust future support if supplies become excessive. Agriculture Secretary Bergland kept the 80 percent level administratively amid dairy lobbying. Experts say consumer dairy prices will rise about 11 percent this year, with a slower pace in 1980.
