Dairy price order shifts affect farmers and distributors

The dairy commission set new producer wholesale and retail minimums, with a $6.10 producer price and 2342 cents wholesale, and varied local market adjustments. The decision, praised as aligning prices with current economics, faced dissent from Dr. Almarin Phillips who warned of long term harm to dairy and consumers. Farmers gain about five cents per take home milk, distributors similar gains, and some markets see price reductions or increases. The order also allows farmers to sell excess milk locally rather than delivering to distributors.
