Dairy Farmer Checkoff
Increases Milk Sales
ROSEMONT, 111
hers are out!
The 15-cent dairy farmer
funded checkoff promotion pro
gram has helped dairy farmers
sell even more milk than origi
nally projected. Last year,
demand for milk exceeded total
milk production despite a
steadily increasing milk supply
nearly every year since the dairy
checkoff began in 1984.
“Total milk sales have
increased 26 percent in the 14
years since the start of the
checkoff in 1984, compared with
14 years before the checkoff
began, when total milk sales had
increased only 15 percent,” said

The program works by each
dairy farmer contributing 15
cents per hundredweight to the
checkoff. Of that, a dime goes to
the local dairy promotion orga
nizations such as the American
Dairy Association/Dairy Council
Middle Atlantic and
Pennsylvania Dairy Promotion
Program (PDPP) and a nickel
goes to fund national promotion
efforts. This adds up to more
than $230 million to fund pro
grams that help sell more U.S.-
produced dairy products here
and abroad.
