NMPF Milk Pricing Actions
U.S. dairy producers have been facing unprecedented losses over the past year due to low milk prices and high input costs. The dire economic straits have forced many dairy farmers to exit the industry, oftentimes having to sell their herds or farms. NMPF is acutely aware of these tough current circumstances, especially because our members constantly ask us, “What is NMPF doing about this?” To provide answers to this question, please explore the links below to learn more about the actions that NMPF is taking on behalf of the country’s dairy producers as we work to improve the condition of their industry.
