Milk in the Texas Marketing Area; Notice of Proposed Suspension of Certain Provisions of the Order

Короткий зміст

This document invites written comments on a proposal that would reinstate suspension of portions of the pool plant and producer milk definitions of the Texas Federal milk order until the implementation of Federal order reform. Dairy Farmers of America, Inc. (DFA), a cooperative association that represents producers who supply milk to the market, has requested the reinstatement of the suspension that expired July 31, 1999. The cooperative asserts that the suspension is necessary to ensure that dairy farmers who have historically supplied the Texas market will continue to have their milk priced under the Texas order without incurring costly and inefficient movements of milk.
