NFU Endorses
Permanent Milk
Program
The National Farmers Un
ion recently urged Congress to
enact legislation which would
make the special milk pro
gram permanent with progres
sive steps in funding.
In testimony delivered to a
Senate Agriculture Subcom
mittee, NFU President Tony
T. Dechant said the program
is of economic importance' to
daily fanners and is in the
public interest for its contri

nutrition and health of our
children.
“Under the program, more
than 1.5 billion pounds of
fluid milk will be consumed
this year in our Nation’s
schools. Another 15 billion
pounds of milk will be con
sumed in the school lunch
program in the form of fluid
milk, butter, cheese and oth
er dairy products,” Dechant
told the Subcommittee on Ag
ricultural Production Market
ing and Stabilization of Prices.
