NMPF has joined with the International Dairy Foods Association to support changes in how dairy prices are reported by the government.
In this letter sent to the USDA on Oct. 10, NMPF is asking that the Agricultural Marketing Service be the agency that collects pricing data, rather than the National Agricultural Statistics Service, which is currently performing that function.
We are also asking that USDA adopt electronic price reporting, to improve the speed and flow of data.
