On Tuesday, the California Department of Food and Agriculture disappointed many of the state’s dairy farmers by extending rather than significantly increasing current milk pricing relief. We’ll check in on what that decision — and the upcoming vote on the Farm Bill — mean for struggling dairy farmers and cheese processors alike.

Guests:

Karen Ross, secretary of the California Department of Food and Agriculture

Michael Marsh, CEO of Western United Dairymen

Rachel Kaldor, executive director of the Dairy Institute of California, which represents dairy processors of cheese, ice cream, etc.
