The Pennsylvania Milk Board explained in a November 4 order why it let the state's dairy over-order premium lapse over the summer. The board said the premium was funded by consumers but mainly benefited fluid processors, and that declining fluid consumption and long-distance milk hauling had undercut its effectiveness.
This is a state-level pricing policy affecting farmers who sell milk for fluid use in Pennsylvania. It has little direct effect on national milk powder or feed ingredient prices.
