Less than two years after Congress enacted the 2008 Farm Bill, the House Agriculture Committee opened work on the 2012 Farm Bill Tuesday with a review of U.S. dairy policy at a field hearing in Pennsylvania.
The National Milk Producers Federation presented a summary of its “Foundation for the Future” milk pricing proposal at the hearing. The proposal would reshape the safety net for dairy farmers via producer income insurance, production management and Federal Milk Marketing Order reform.
