The National Milk Producers Federation has asked the USDA to conduct a hearing on the Federal Milk Marketing Order system. CEO Jim Mulhern tells Brownfield the formulas are important for determining the price of milk, regardless of what it’s used for. “That’s what our proposal does, a comprehensive update that would adjust those pricing formulas and deal with the major issues that need to be addressed in this program so it works for today’s dairy industry.”

A separate request for a Federal Milk Marketing Order hearing has been made by the Wisconsin Cheese Makers Association requesting adjustments to the make allowance, but Mulhern says adjustments are needed beyond the make allowances.
