Dairy Farmers of America tells FOX 11 it reached an agreement with the Justice Department.

It requires DFA to sell the plant in De Pere, since the farming company now owns Dean Foods.

The plant’s new owners will be “The Borden Dairy Company” and “Select Milk Producers.”

U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, chair of the Senate Agriculture Subcommittee on Livestock, Dairy, Poultry, Local Food Systems, and Food Safety and Security, praised the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) decision to reinstate the “higher of” Class I pricing formula for milk.
