leave ,excess stocks boning overthe market

World -dairy prices will continue at a Now
level for the foreseeable future. This will
mean that a massive export program will be
too costly to implement. Producers will still

believe that -.demand has not increased
enough to •absorb excess stocks this year.
Feed costs will continue' to concern
producers in early 1984. If normal weather

We expect that this will cause food costs to
