People who are sincerely concerned about the fourth year in a row of low farm milk prices, including Dairy Co-operative Leaders, key State and Federal Legislators, State Commissioners of Agriculture and key staff, Farm Bureaus, Agricultural Lenders, Dairy Farmers and the Media. Farmers are looking for a solution to this pricing problem that will address their immediate financial stress and persistent year to year price issues. It is important that we get some of the movers and shakers in our industry to attend and work toward a solution that will work for dairy farmers and the marketplace.
