State boards and fees shape Michigan farm policy
The 1939 legislature empowered the milk marketing board and the apple board to set prices and regulate markets, creating state government roles as arbitrator and tax collector in food sectors. Commissioner Beamer notes growing payrolls and self financed programs, with fees rising to support inspection of farm commodities plus compulsory onion inspection. Fee based farm storage and extended services push costs but aim for parity between farming and industry.
