Federal Milk Marketing Order changes took effect June 1, including higher Class I differentials, a return to the higher-of Class I mover, and increased make allowances. Farm Bureau estimates the make allowance changes would cut farmer milk checks by about 85 to 90 cents per hundredweight across classes.
The composition factor increases were delayed until December.
