Better milk policies asked for

Published Thursday, July 09, 2009 at 05:00 AM

MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) _ Vermont Agriculture Secretary Roger Allbee says he hopes the administration of President Barack Obama will adopt policies to help struggling Northeast dairy farmers. Allbee met earlier this week with U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack. Allbee says Northeast dairy farmers are being paid less for their milk than what it costs to produce it. Vermont Public Radio says Allbee wants the federal government to take steps to help lower milk production levels and increase demand for dairy products. Allbee says Vilsack recognizes the current pricing system is antiquated. Allbee wants Congress to reform national dairy policy to allow different prices in different parts of the country.
