Dairy farmers and their cooperatives face an important vote on milk pricing before the end of the year. USDA recently proposed the most important changes in two decades to how minimum milk prices will be set under Federal Milk Marketing Orders (FMMOs). These changes will affect milk prices and dairy farm profitability for years to come. Dairy farmers and their cooperatives will vote on whether to accept the proposed changes once they are finalized in November or to eliminate pricing under FMMOs in their region altogether—there’s no option to continue with the pricing arrangements we have now. PDP joined forces with industry leaders to better understand what these changes mean for all of the stakeholders. Did you miss the workshop? No worries - we have you covered. The recordings from the workshop provide valuable insights about what changes USDA is proposing, why they are proposing them and the likely future impacts on farm milk prices. Dairy economists from UW-Madison and Cornell University with more than 100 collective years of experience analyzing dairy markets policy share insights about the proposed changes and their impacts in different regions of the US. A panel of highly respected industry experts representing producers and processors from around the country shared their perspectives on the proposed changes and how they will shape the industry going forward.

There is no shortage of challenges for the food system. From changes in policy to new food technologies, consumers and producers can have a lot to worry about.    To consumer economics researcher Brandon McFadden, though, these challenges present opportunities to better understand human interactions with the food system. As a professor and the Tyson Endowed Chair in Food Policy Economics, Brandon aims to improve lives by helping  consumers better understand the food system and the food system to better understand consumers.
