A new study compared the Dairy Security Act (DSA) proposed by Representative Collin Peterson (D-MN) with an alternative proposal from Representatives Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) and David Scott (D-GA), and found the programs mostly comparable, except that the Dairy Security Act would cost consumers more. The study, from leading university economists, concluded that both approaches include “effective in providing catastrophic risk insurance” for stable and growing farms, but that the Dairy Security Act’s supply management style program would drive up prices for consumers.
