Farmers Defer Milk Hike Amid Nixon Price Controls
AMPI and dairy farmers backed away from a 0 percent wholesale milk price increase amid Nixon price controls and threats from bottlers to shut down rather than absorb higher costs. AMPI president John Butterbrodt warned Texas could face a milk shortage by August if pass-throughs of raw price increases are not allowed, and said the increase was needed to assure adequate supply. AMPI, with 40,090 members across 12 states, supplies about 80 percent of Texas milk for betting purposes, and bottlers warned they would close Monday if AMPI persisted.
