Not a specialist in milk price support politics but way-back-when Senator Jeffords agreed to play nicey-nicey with the Republican party so they could keep their control of the Senate in return for a hefty price support program for a variety of agricultural commodities ~ particularly milk.

Barely a month later he was back at the trough demanding more money ~ this time for a disabilities education fund of some kind ~ and the Republicans wouldn't play ball with him ~ so he became an independent and caucused with the Democrats.

Reading through the Wiki-ganda pieces I observed that all the farm bill hijacking Jeffords engaged in is NO LONGER MENTIONED ~ folks will need to go elsewhere or that one.

There was another fellow from South Dakota mixed up in this ~ seems that beef cows also provide a substantial percentage of dairy and dairy biproducts in this country, so they have to be satisfied as well.

I hope folks enjoy this thread because literally everybody will need to do some research to find out what happened ~ strange that even the Speaker hadn't been properly advised.
