Press Statement on Dairy in the Farm Bill Constance E. Tipton Washington, DC - April 26, 2002 "We applaud the efforts of House-Senate Farm Bill conferees to bring the farm bill to a close without including onerous milk pricing policies in the dairy title. While not perfect, we believe the new and temporary federal dairy compromise reached by conferees is a far cry from mandating a national milk pricing floor or reinstating regional dairy cartels.We have always advocated policies that enable America's dairy industry to grow and compete in today's dynamic marketplace. Progress still needs to be made in simplifying federal dairy regulations so that market distortions are minimized and farmers, processors and consumers all benefit." -030- |
