A hearing on possible reform of the federal milk marketing orders is underway near Indianapolis. “The last time we had a big process like this was about 20 years ago,” said Stephen Cain, director of economic research and analysis, National Milk Producers Federation. “We’ve developed a big package that we think will help the U.S. dairy farmer, but we’re not the only kids on the block, there’s other groups in there that will have different opinions.” This hearing process is expected to last a few weeks. A recommendation from this hearing will likely happen in February or March and a final decision is expected next summer.
