What dairy buyout?
By Dairy Herd news staff | Tuesday, February 03, 2009
U.S. Senators are probably scratching their heads over the letters they have been receiving in opposition to a dairy buyout. That’s because there is no dairy buyout.
News that the Western States Dairy Producers Trade Association had asked to have approximately 300,000 cows culled under an existing dairy-industry program (Cooperatives Working Together) mushroomed into full-blown rumors that Congress was working on some kind of dairy buyout in the economic stimulus package.
The House version of the stimulus package, approved last week, did not contain any provisions for a dairy buyout. And, now that the measure is in the Senate, no one has stepped forward to add such a provision, according to Chris Galen, spokesman for the National Milk Producers Federation.
Galen said the NMPF has not asked Congress for a dairy buyout.
Meanwhile, rumors that there would be a dairy buyout got some beef producers worked up, because the idea of having 300,000 new cows go to slaughter would not be good for beef prices. The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association encouraged its members to write the Senators to oppose the buyout. For more on that, click here.

Thirty Five Senators Call for Dairy Aid
Throughout the National Cattlemen's Beef Association meeting last week there were concerns expressed about a possible federal dairy buyout. While members of Congress insist that isn't happening because it would look too much like an earmark for one industry, at least 35 senators did sign a letter to Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack urging USDA to do more to help the beleaguered dairy industry. That includes boosting purchases of dairy products.

Mike said:"The cattle industry is not subsidized by the government, nor do we wish to be," said NCBA President and Arizona rancher Andy Groseta.
