The American Dairy Coalition has asked the National Milk Producers Federation and the International Dairy Foods Association to help change the Class One milk price mover. Laurie Fischer says the 2018 Farm Bill changed the price formula language from “higher of” to “average of” the classes. “And it just so happens that it didn’t go through a federal milk marketing hearing process, and it was changed legislatively and so a lot of dairy farmers weren’t aware of this change.”
Fischer says more than 450 dairy farmers have signed on to the letter, saying they don’t care to have things changed legislatively unless they’re involved in the process.
