14— Lancaster Farming,Saturday, June 13,1911 USDA prepares recommendations on casein WASHINGTON, D.C. - Imports of casein, a dairy protein, compete with domestic dairy products in some uses and may affect the cost of the federal dairy price support program, according to a study release today by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. However, it does not appear that invoking import restrictions would substantially reduce the cost of the dairy price support program, said Assistant Secretary of Agriculture William Lesher. Restricting casein imports by the maximum allowed under law would cause some domestic users to shift to dairy and non-dairy alternatives, but would not significantly increase the use of domestically-produced skim milk solids, he said. Trends in casein use suggest the effect of imports on the dairy The Delaware Cooperative Extension Service has three free publicatons which can help you determine the profitability of land rental arrangements.

Lesher said the study was begun in May, 1980 to help government policymakers in the debate on whether imported dairy proteins displace domestic skim milk solids, thus increasing the cost of the dairy price support program. Casein is a dairy protein used in various food, feed and industrial products. Since the late 1960’5, there has been, no domestic production of casein due at least in part to federal price supports for nonfat dry milk and other processed dairy products that have made casein production non competitive, Lesher said. He said those who favor restricting casein imports have proposed taking action under Section 22 of the Agricultural Rental rates (Continued (rant Page B 3) To receive one or more of these free publications, write to Dr. Don Tilmon, Agricultural Hall, University of Delaware, Newark, DE, 19711.

Section 22 allows imposition of a 50 percent tariff or a quota equal to 50 percent of casein imports during a representative period if it is found that imports substantially interfer with the operation of a commodity price support program. The report, Lesher said, con cludes that under a tariff, the use of domestically produced skim milk solids would not increase, while under a quota, many manufacturers would shift to other non-dairy substitues. Further, because a 50 percent tariff would not increase com mercial disappearance of skim milk solids, it would have no im pact on government purchases, Lesher said. A 50 percent quota would cause users to substitute an estimated 10 million pounds of nonfat dry milk and would save the government about $9 million, less than 1 percent of the 1980 dairy price support costs, he said. Lesher said copies of the report will be given to USDA policy of ficials and members of Congress for review.
