Fairness in Milk Pricing Sparks Senate Debate
A Maryland dairy farmer voices concern after the Senate Economic and Environmental Affairs Committee defeated a dairy bill aimed at Maryland joining the Northeast Dairy Compact. The compact would let a 26 member panel set a fair farm level price for fluid milk, currently about 16.94 per cwt in the Northeast versus 13.73 per cwt in Maryland. The author notes half to all milk goes to fluid sales and cites prices, with fears that the bill could raise consumer shelf prices. The record references Baltimore County pricing at over 2.80 per gallon and ongoing disparities between fluid milk and manufactured dairy products.
