A dairy producer and Farm Bureau member says it’s time to modernize federal milk marketing orders. Kevin Krentz operates a 600-cow dairy near Brillion, Wisconsin, and served on the American Farm Bureau committee that presented recommendations for Federal Milk Marketing Order changes to USDA Tuesday.
Krentz says their committee had discussions by phone and in-person with USDA, National Milk Producers, IDFA, universities, and other stakeholders before releasing their report. “Through those discussions, it became clearer and clearer that we needed to build transparency in the system.
