4 hours ago in Agriculture Photo: WNAX Four Midwest Dairy groups are offering an alternative proposal to a change to the Federal Milk Marketing Orders. That’s in contrast to one proposed by the National Milk Producers Federation. John Holevoet, Government Affairs Director for the Dairy Business Association says their Class III plus plan ties the Class 1 milk price to the Class 3 milk price. He says their Class III plus plan calls for a set adjuster and an end to advance pricing. Minnesota Milk Producers Association Executive Director Lucas Sjostrom says by tying Class 1 to Class 3 price, that’ll also be beneficial for cheese plants.
