 USDA's proposed changes to the federal milk marketing orders includes make allowance increases of up to 7 cents per pound for butterfat, nonfat dry milk, dry whey, and cheese. American Farm Bureau Federation economist Danny Mudge tells Brownfield if finalized, it would make a big dent in a farmer's milk check. When we loop that into a per hundred weight value, that means farmers will be seeing 75 cents to 87 cents less per hundred weight on their milk checks because of an increased make allowance.
