WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Rep. Burgess Owens (UT-04) co-sponsored the Dairy Pricing Opportunity Act of 2023, legislation to ensure that dairy farmers have the ability to price their products to reflect today’s market environment.

Owens. “Stability in the dairy market is critical to the success of farms in Utah and across the nation, and I am proud to support the Dairy Pricing Opportunity Act of 2023 to ensure fair, accurate, and modern dairy pricing systems.”
