If you don't join RCMA today
you mill bo marking for less.
Since 1981, the blend price in Order II has dropped $lB9 That means that if

earn $19,845 less this year than you did at the start of the decade! And that’s
only the start Dairy industry experts agree, Federal minimum prices are going
to be cut even more during the next couple of years
Join your neighbors in the fight
for fair farm prices.
More than 22,000 dairy farmers in the Northeast have joined together to gam
