Our Mission

This website has been set up to provide information on H.R. 5288 and S. 3531, the Dairy Price Stabilization Act of 2010.  With four major economic wrecks in the dairy industry in the last ten years, it has become clear to many that this boom/bust cycle in the milk price is more than an anomaly - it's a product of our system.  As an industry, we need to re-align the incentives that exist for individual dairy farmers, and the DPSA is a common sense proposal that does exactly that.
