The Class I Mover proposal by IDFA is designed to ensure dairy farmers receive fair payments, while allowing processors to effectively manage price risk. This proposal is expected to enhance the sales of Class I products, which have been declining.
IDFA's efforts represent a comprehensive approach to dairy industry reform, involving extensive internal discussions and stakeholder engagement. The organization's focus remains on achieving a balanced outcome that benefits the entire dairy supply chain.
As the dairy industry awaits the USDA's decision following the hearing, IDFA continues to advocate for regulatory changes that accurately represent today's dairy markets. The outcome of this process is pivotal, not just for current dairy businesses but also for shaping future policies in the sector.
IDFA's role in this transformative period highlights its commitment to a dynamic and sustainable dairy industry.
