USDA published its final decision on federal milk marketing order reform, and all 11 orders approved the changes. Barrel cheddar will be removed from pricing formulas in June 2025, butterfat recovery in Class III will rise to 91%, and the Class I mover will return to the higher of Class III or Class IV skim.
