Abstract: On March 22-23, 1982, the U.S. Department of Agriculture sponsored a symposium on the situation facing the dairy industry--milk supplies in excess of demand. This imbalance has led to substantial Government purchases of dairy products to support the price of milk. The purpose of the symposium was to provide the dairy industry with an opportunity to make input to the Department regarding alternative courses of action that might be taken to work out of the current excess supply situation. Representation at the symposium was widely-based, including most general farm organizations, dairy marketing cooperatives from the major producing areas of the country, dairy processors, and dairy producers. Total attendance was 250, with 50 presenting their views.
