Michigan Farm Bureau outlines next dairy policy steps

Michigan Farm Bureau delegates have finalized recommendations to improve dairy pricing formulas and transparency.

Senior Industry Relations Specialist Ernie Birchmeier tells Brownfield he feels positive consensus is forming across the industry.

“You’ve got dairy farmers from around the country that have come together to discuss critical issues to their industry, that have developed recommendations and it appears a majority of the dairy industry agrees upon,” he says.

Birchmeier says previous resolutions crafted in Michigan led to a national dairy working group and the recent American Farm Bureau Federation Federal Milk Marketing Order Forum focused on finding milk pricing solutions.
