FUMMC leads bid to merge Midwest milk orders
The Farmers Union Milk Marketing Cooperative promotes consolidating eight Midwest federal milk orders into a single regional order that could lift farm milk prices by as much as 30 cents a hundred. Supporters argue it would fix price inequities and streamline movement, while opposition fears price drops in the Southeast and South. A public hearing by the USDA is planned within six months to a year.
