| Dairy producer groups oppose DMSP |
|
Several dairy producer organizations have joined in opposing the Dairy Security Act, included in the House Ag Committee’s 2012 Farm Bill discussion draft. In a letter to House Ag Committee chair Frank Lucas (R-Okla.) and Ranking Member Collin Peterson (D-Minn.), the groups, including California Dairies, Inc.; Dairy Business Milk Marketing Cooperative; Dairy Policy Action Coalition; National All-Jersey, Inc.; North East Dairy Producers Association, Inc.; and Wisconsin Dairy Business Association, wrote that they have “continuously raised objections over the impact the Dairy Security Act (supply controls) will have on our members." Minnesota Milk Producers Association also sent a separate letter in support of a safety net program without the Dairy Market Stabilization Program (DMSP). (more) July 10, 2012 DairyProfit Update
