Dole criticized President Carter for “not taking adequate action on the gram set-aside program.” He claimed the President’s announcement to maintain the same set-aside program as last year “is further proof that this Administration is less than concerned about the future of farmers.” Speaking on the dairy outlook, Dole commented that, as a result of lower milk output and strong demand, combmed with low commercial stocks, wholesale dairy product prices will probably remain above the new support purchase prices until the end of the year and beyond. He did caution that USDA stocks of butter and non-fat dry milk must be disposed of carefully to avoid hurting producers. Citing the “shocking” drop in realized net farm income over the past three years, Senator Dole stated that the farmers have not been the cause of inflation but instead have been the victims. “They cannot stand the impact that double-digit inflation has on the farm goods and equipment they buy,” he said.
