BY ROB HOTAKAINEN r hotahthen @mcrlatrig,com WASHINGTON Congress came up with a novel way to reduce the nation's milk supply in 1985, paying farmers $1.5 billion to slaughter their cuMi1k production dropped slightly, but the glut re- ined: Last week, the U.S. Department of Agri- culture moved to help dairy farmers once again by spending $20 million to get 11 million pounds of excess cheese off the mar- ket,sending it to food hanks. "honestly, I think it's a good gesture how much effect it's going to have I don't know," said Jon De - Jong, 41, who milks 1,300 cows with his father and two brothers on their farm near Lyndon, Washington. "It's not likely to save the milk price or anything." With milk prices down 40 percent since 2014, Congress will be under pressure to do more to prop up the ailing industry when lawmakers return from their summer break Tuesday. It will be an uphill fight, and it promises to spark a debate over how far the government should go to aid an industry plagued with oversupply, particular- ly with Americans consum ing far less fluid milk than they did 50 years ago. Gene Baur, the president of Farm Sanctuary, an animal protection organi- zation, said the federal government had erred by spending $20 million to buy Mat -laden, artery - clogging cheese" and that Congress should end the subsidies and force more farmers to exit the busi- s. ne"People are struggling to make it. It's kind of a los- ingbattle," he said. "And it doesn't make sense to feed consumers food that makes them sick.... The fact is that people are consuming fewer dairy products, and " oMIAMlinionsimmon PUBLIC NOTICE PROPOSED ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF NORTH MIAMI NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the City of North Miami, Florida proposes to adopt the following Ordinances.

For dairy producers, those are fighting words. "As someone involved in the dairy industry, you take e offense to comments like that," said Delong. De said dairy products were "packed with good nutrition" and that diet fads came and went: "Len years from now, it's going to be this next thing is what's killing off the peo- ple, and a couple years later it's like, 'Oh, you need more of that in your diet.' When U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack announced the decision to buy the cheese on Aug. 23, he said the cheese surplus had reached a 30-year high white dairy producers' revenue had declined by 35 percent in the last two years. Vilsack said the purchase was part of the government's 'robust comprehensive safety net."

That's a big thing for said Delong. De said Congress needed to make re that international trade agreements didn't end up hurting the dairy industry. "The main thing is to keep a level playing field for domestic produc- ers like us, because we're n a global market." But foreign markets have hurt milk prices, too. Like the U.S., Europe has a huge milk surplus, tri the end of quotas andggered sia's ban on European food imports. On Capitol Hill, there's plenty of sympathy for the dairy industry. On July 28, 61 members of Congress including Democratic Sens. Maria C';antwell of Wash ington state, Barbara Boxer of California and Claire McCaskill of Missouri • wrote a letter to Vilsack, complaining of the "trou- bling economic challenges facing U.S. dairy farmers" and vowing to work closely with the Obama adminis- tration to manage the in- dustry's "financial crisis." But getting the Repub- lican -led Congress to dole out any additional money for the industry this year will be a tough sell. "1 share the frustration of farmers that market forces largely outside the U.S. have resulted in this year's low milk prices," said Idaho Republican Rep. Mike Simpson, a veteran member of the house Appropriations Committee and the Congressional Dairy Caucus. Ile said Congress would take this year's price plunge into account when members examined dairy policy in a new farm bill. For many, that's far too long to wait: Congress traditionally passes farm bills every five years, a schedule that would set the next one for 2019. When Congressrecon- e next week, farmers andactivists will be ready to push a list of options. They leWng th government incude 10gpurchasee more surplus milk and cheese, allowing farmers to invest their savings in tax- free savings accounts and creating production quotas. The dairy industry has been pushing its case for months. At a Mouse subcommit- tee hearing in May, Missouri farmer Randy Mooney, the chairman of the National Milk Produc- ers Federation, said the downturn in milk prices was the worst since 2009. Ile's among the many farmers who say that Con- gress' latest dairy program, approved in 2014, is not providing enough help. Under the voluntary Dairy Margin Protection Program, farmers pay premiums for catastrophic coverage and can receive cash payments once the gap between their expenses and income hits a certain level. Mooney said a 40 per- cent decline in milk prices since 2014 had equated to a loss of $200,000 for a farm with 100 cows. "Over the last 10 years, I've seen more than 600 of my home- state dairy farm- ers quit the business," Mooney told the Mouse Subcommittee on Livestock and Foreign Agriculture. That's exactly as it should be, said Baur, the head of Farm Sanctuary. "I respect farmers, but when it is clear that a par- ticular industry needs to be changed, we need to look at that and start making the changes," Baur said. "It is also disconcerting that agribusinesses have so much influence in Wash- ington, D.C., and that's how they're able to acquire billions of dollars in tax money every year." DeJong, meanwhile, said his production costs just kept rising, with another financial hit coming from new state regulations aimed at protecting water quality. But he said he was "not a real big fan of too much government involvement" and e alconflicted over what Congress should do. "1Fonettly, I really don't know know for sure what the right policies would be," Delong said. "In my opinion, you're always going to have • like any other industry • the ones that are less efficient, and they're going to evenlly retire or move on.
