3/6/2025, 9:06 AMReferred to the Subcommittee on General Farm Commodities, Risk Management, and Credit.
Bill 119 hr 295, also known as the Dairy Product Processing Costs Reporting Act, aims to make changes to the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946 in regards to the mandatory reporting of dairy products processing costs. The bill seeks to improve transparency and accuracy in the dairy industry by requiring processors to report their costs of processing dairy products to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).
Under the proposed legislation, dairy processors would be required to submit detailed reports on their costs of processing various dairy products, such as milk, cheese, and yogurt. This information would then be compiled and made publicly available by the USDA, allowing farmers, policymakers, and other stakeholders to have a better understanding of the costs associated with producing dairy products.
The bill is aimed at addressing concerns about the lack of transparency in the dairy industry and the impact it has on farmers and consumers. By requiring processors to report their costs, the hope is that this will lead to more fair and competitive pricing for dairy products, ultimately benefiting both producers and consumers. Overall, the Dairy Product Processing Costs Reporting Act seeks to promote transparency and accountability in the dairy industry, with the goal of creating a more level playing field for all stakeholders involved.
