Duvall hopeful milk order hearing brings positive changes

The President of the American Farm Bureau Federation says he’s hopeful the USDA hearing on the Federal Milk Marketing Order system leads to some modernization to benefit farmers.  Zippy Duvall tells Brownfield ending voluntary processor price audits would help. We think that those audits ought to be mandatory for every, every processor and we think that would bring fairness and transparency to the system.”

Duvall says there are dairy issues Farm Bureau is interested in, with some in the federal orders and other issues that can be addressed with legislation.
