Federal milk
marketing orders
NEW YORK, N.Y. - The U.S.
Department of Agriculture has
just updated “The Federal Milk
Marketing Order Program,” a
booklet that explains milk
marketing orders.
“This booklet describes how
federal milk marketing orders
were developed, their evolution
under changing marketing con
ditions, their current scope and
operation, and a look at where the
future may take the marketing
orders,” said Herbert L. Forest,
dairy official with USDA’s
Agricultural Marketing Services.
“The 43-page booklet is an in
depth review of this important and
complex program for orderly milk
marketing,” he said.
Currently, there are 48 milk
marketing orders that regulate the
prices farmers receive for 75
percent of the milk used for fluid
purposes. One of the 48 orders was
implemented since the booklet
went to press. Presently, USDA is
studying proposals for one more
order and for the merger of six
orders into two.
“In recent decades, the number
or orders has decreased from more
than 80 to the current number,
while the percentage of dairy
farmers marketing milk under
marketing orders has increased,”
said Forest.
“Federal milk marketing orders
set minimum prices that regulated
handlers must pay dairy farmers
for their milk,” he said. “The
orders do not set the prices con
sumers pay for dairy products at
retail outlets.”
