Class III milk prices are in a downward spiral. Minnesota Senator Tina Smith hosted a meeting with dairy farmers Tuesday in the southeastern corner of the state. “We talked a lot about what we can do to support strong demand for dairy products, that’s why I support the Dairy PRIDE Act to make sure that if something is calling itself milk in the grocery store it actually comes from a cow or goat or sheep or comes from some mammal,” Smith told RRFN. “We talked about trade policy and making sure that American-produced cheese and other milk products have a fair shake and an opportunity to compete in global markets.” Regarding the dairy title in the new farm bill, Smith supports an update to the Dairy Margin Coverage program.
