Ag Policy Webinar: New Mandatory Dairy Processing Cost and Yield Survey

Описание: Learn how upcoming regulatory and market changes will shape milk pricing, dairy economics, and on-farm decision-making.

Hear a clear explanation of how the cost survey will be implemented, what recent FMMO outcomes mean for pricing formulas, why updated make allowances matter, and how current market trends—including dairy price volatility, feed costs, beef market influence, and demand factors —affect profitability.
