Dairy Industry Unhappy With Lack of Reform



The dairy industry is unhappy with the lack of dairy reform with Congress passing an extension of the current farm bill through the end of the fiscal year.  Christopher Galen Sr. Vice President for the National Milk Producers Federation says it’s a devastating blow to the nation's dairy farmers.   
 
He says they oppose any farm bill extension of any duration that does not contain the Dairy Security Act, and resolve to work this year on achieving that as a long-term goal.”
 
He says the plan amounts to shoving farmers over the dairy cliff without providing any safety net below as the MILC or Milk Income Loss Program will only provide minimal support to the nation’s producers.
