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. This bipartisan bill will deliver transparency and modernize the Federal Milk Marketing Order (FMMO) system so America’s farmers have confidence in their product pricing that is reflective of today’s standards.
“The animal agriculture industry generates the largest source of revenue for farmers in Utah,” said Rep. 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.”
