An American Farm Bureau economist expects USDA’s hearing on milk pricing could wrap up early in the new year, but the process is far from over.
Danny Munch says the Federal Milk Marketing Order hearing restarts in Carmel, Indiana January 16th after a holiday break. “There’s an expectation that it will go for at least two more weeks with sort-of a gap week in between those weeks as some of the dairy groups have their big meetings between those periods.”
Munch says many of the main categories have already been covered, and once the hearing is over, USDA will then publish thousands of pages of hearing transcripts for review.
