Agriculture Secretary opposes higher dairy price supports
Agriculture Secretary Ezra Taft Benson argues against a provision for higher dairy price supports in the farm bill. He says the dairy industry is improving with balanced production and consumption, low government stock, and better farm income, and that higher supports would mislead producers and damage long term promotion of dairy products. Benson warns the parity calculation would shift from 83.3 to 88 percent, encouraging reliance on government payments.
