Milk in the Pacific Northwest and Southwestern Idaho-Eastern Oregon Marketing Areas; Decision on Proposed Amendments to Marketing Agreements and to Orders and Termination of Proceeding With Respect to Proposals To Amend the Southwestern Idaho-Eastern Oregon Federal Milk Order

Samenvatting

This final decision adds two counties to the Pacific Northwest milk marketing area and modifies the component pricing provisions of the order. Other proposed amendments addressed at the hearing, including all of those pertaining to the Southwestern Idaho-Eastern Oregon Federal milk order, will not be considered further in this proceeding. The issues involved in those proposals will be addressed in the process of restructuring the Federal milk orders pursuant to the 1996 Farm Bill. Dairy farmer cooperatives will be polled to determine whether dairy farmers favor issuance of the Pacific Northwest order as amended.
