Take Action: Support Fair Prices for Dairy Farmers!
Dairy farming is a challenging business, made even harder thanks to market volatility, prices that often don’t cover farmers’ cost of production, and a continuing trend towards corporate consolidation and megadairies. This National Dairy Month, thank a dairy farmer by calling or emailing your legislators and asking them to support NFFC’s Milk from Family Dairies Act in the Farm Bill!
The Milk from Family Dairies Act (MFDA) is a sustainable, long-term solution to root causes of the US dairy crisis that has forced thousands of farmers out of business. The MFDA will reform dairy policy by ensuring fair prices for farmers and balancing supply with demand while protecting costs for consumers and revitalizing rural areas — all with the goal of saving taxpayers money! It’s time to give dairy farmers, and the rural communities who rely on them, a secure and prosperous future.
