A class-action lawsuit between retailers and the National Milk Producers Federation might end in a 220-million-dollar settlement. National Milk’s President and CEO Jim Mulhern says, “We’re really trying to avoid the clearly, very crippling damage we would have suffered as a dairy industry had there been a four-billion dollar judgement against the dairy industry.”
Mulhern tells Brownfield it’s disappointing and frustrating that NMPF and the member cooperatives had to go through this legal process.
