On Nov. 12, 2024, the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) released a long-awaited final decision with reforms to pricing formulas used by the Federal Milk Marketing Order system. The next step is a vote of approval on the ruling by the dairy industry. That is to come in December. What does this reform in milk pricing mean for the dairy industry overall and at the farm level?

Joining us today to talk about the recent reforms to milk pricing is Tim Trotter, CEO of Edge. We caught up with Tim at this week National Farm Broadcasters meeting in Kansas City.
