DFA, Agrimark, Dairylea, meeting very informative

On March 30, representatives from the three major coops in the Northeast hosted a meeting in Burlington to discuss dairy policy and where this discussion is heading. There were more than 150 attendees, primarily dairy farmers from New Hampshire, Maine, Vermont, New York, and Connecticut. It was very clear to participants that the three cooperatives are working together to come up with industry solutions along with Dairy Farmers Working Together. The meeting proved again that farmers in the Northeast come with a united voice in support of managing our countries production to support stronger prices. Farmers left the meeting feeling encouraged that movement is happening particularly with the announcement that National Milk is looking at methods to manage our national supply to enhance prices paid to farmers.
