Farm Journal’s Milk Business saying that government programs are driving buyers to the cash cheese and butter trade.

Wisconsin is joining USDA and California in not collecting dairy checkoff money on dumped milk due to lower demand because of the pandemic. Wisconsin officials made the announcement last week saying it would not be retroactive.

It will apply to any dumped milk going forward until the President ends the federal major disaster declaration. USDA announced in late April it would not collect the 5 cent per cwt. national dairy assessment. State and regional dairy checkoff groups received the other dime.
