25-Sep-2009 (16 years 8 months 15 days ago)The nation’s top state agriculture officials have offered the federal government a new proposal, called “Meat the Need,” to help the nation’s embattled dairy and pork farmers.
“The National Association of State Departments of Agriculture (NASDA) has put forward a plan to take extra dairy and pork supplies off the market, bringing up prices paid to producers,” said North Dakota Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring. “These commodities will then be available through a supplemental food assistance program to people who cannot afford it.”
