Riepilogo

This document invites written comments on a proposal to suspend the ``dairy farmer for other markets'' provisions of the Texas milk marketing order. The proposal would suspend a portion of the producer definition until such time as this and other pooling provisions of the order can be reviewed at a public hearing. The action was requested by Associated Milk Producers, Inc., a cooperative that represents dairy farmers whose milk is pooled under the order. Proponent contends that these provisions prevent the cooperative from marketing its milk supplies efficently.
