A recent forum by the American Dairy Coalition explored ways to improve the Federal Milk Marketing Order for farmers and cooperatives.
Southern Illinois dairyman Frank Doll currently serves as the president of Prairie Farms and on the Illinois Milk Promotion Board.
“I’m just a farmer and I like to be able to read and understand my milk check quickly,” he says.
Doll is also a representative on the American Farm Bureau’s working group on dairy policy which he says is in favor of returning to a pricing formula using the “higher-of” calculation.
