The USDA has released its recommendations for modernizing the Federal Milk Marketing Orders, including changes to the 'make allowance', Class I pricing for beverage milk, Class I differentials, milk composition factors, and the Dairy Product Mandatory Reporting Program. These recommendations, which come after a record 49-day hearing and over 12,000 pages of testimony, will now be open for comment for 60 days.
