Dairy Policy: An Overview

Howard D. Leathers

Food Review/ National Food Review, 1981, vol. NFR 13, issue 01

Abstract: Milk has been called the most regulated of farm commodities. Price supports, milk market orders, import restrictions, sanitary regulations, and product grading are all ways in which the Government influences the economic environment of decision making in the dairy industry. Rapidly rising food prices, Federal budget costs, and pressure for increased scrutiny of Government regulations have made policy decisions concerning dairy programs an increasingly visible issue.
