Extra Payments For Dairy Farmers
Rates for payments to Idaho dairy farmers to offset rising feed costs have been set at 35 cents a hundredweight for whole milk and 4 cents a pound for butterfat. Quince Rice, chairman of the county AAA committee, announced this week. The program, announced by the War Food Administration, aims to protect milk producers from feed-price rises while keeping dairy costs to consumers in check. Payments will be made with non interest bearing drafts drawn on the Commodity Credit Corporation upon submission of sales evidence by producers.
