The hearing to consider possible changes to the federal milk marketing order system will resume in mid-January, but an industry leader says it should have wrapped up already.
Alan Bjerga with the National Milk Producers Federation says, “If people were just sticking on-topic and really focusing on the proposals, and really looking at what is best for dairy farmers as a whole, I think we’d be done by now.”
Bjerga says he’s confident their proposal would be fair and solve many problems.
