BST No Challenge To U.S. Farm ATLANTA, Ga. The eco nomic impact of treating cows with recombinant bovine soma totropin (rBST) to increase milk production is so similar to previ ous dairy industry innovations that few new federal policy approaches are needed to cope with the changes wrought by the new hormone technology. So said Dr. M. C. Hallberg, Penn State professor of agricultur al economics, and Dr. R. F. Fall en, former senior economist, live stock, dairy and poultry branch, Economic Research Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).
