Dairy Fees Back On For Farmers In April
Agriculture Secretary John Block says dairy farmers will pay a 50 cent fee per 100 pounds of milk starting April 16, with a second 50 cent fee delayed. If Congress fails to solve dairy surpluses by August 1 the additional fee may return. The plan, tied to the milk price support program, aimed to curb overproduction and offset costs, though legal challenges halted it and retroactive collection was dropped. Block seeks a flexible dairy bill with time to adjust signals to farmers.
