Milk in the Southern Illinois-Eastern Missouri Marketing Area; Proposed Suspension of Certain Provisions of the Order

Summary

The US Department of Agriculture invites public comments on a proposal to temporarily suspend certain provisions of the Southern Illinois-Eastern Missouri Federal milk marketing order, which would affect milk pricing and pooling for producers in the region from December 1999 to January 2000. Prairie Farms Dairy, Inc. requested this action to prevent inefficient milk movements and ensure the continued participation of historically associated producers in the order.
