NFU delegates discuss Wisconsin’s dairy supply management plan

National Farmers Union delegates are discussing policy at their annual meeting in Savannah, Georgia.

National Farmers Union delegates, at their annual meeting in Savannah, Georgia, are discussing a new supply management plan for the dairy industry. 

The proposal is being brought forth by Wisconsin Farmers Union. Wisconsin president Darin Von Ruden says they prefer to call it “growth management”. Under the plan, a dairy farm would be “charged” if it wants to grow above what is needed to meet demand.
