The writers of the Opinion Our View section appearing in Capital Press, Aug. 16 issue, highlight the poor prices that farmers are receiving for commodities, including milk, and are “hoping for progress on all of the trade fronts” and end saying “hope is all we have right now.”

Wrong!

U.S. dairy farmers have much more than “hope” to deal with poor milk prices.

NDPO has new co-op management policies that will identify profitable demand for milk and dairy products and will help dairy farmers share in balancing the milk supply they make with profitable demand for their milk.

To learn more about new co-op management policies which dairy farmer co-op members can implement, which will produce the right amount of milk yielding a profitable milk price from the marketplace for most dairy farmers, contact Mike Eby, NDPO Chairman, (717) 799-0057, mikee@ndpo.us, or like us on Facebook-National Dairy Producers Organization, or www.nationaldairyproducersorganization.com
