Bill Summary
A BILL To amend the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946 with respect to mandatory reporting of dairy products processing costs.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946 to enhance reporting requirements for dairy product manufacturers. Specifically, the bill requires dairy manufacturers to report not just sales and pricing information, but also production cost and product yield details for all products processed in their facilities. The Secretary of Agriculture will be required to publish a comprehensive report containing this processing cost information every two years, with the first report due within three years of the bill's enactment. The goal appears to be increasing transparency in dairy product manufacturing by providing more detailed insights into the costs and efficiency of production. By mandating these additional reporting requirements, the bill aims to give policymakers, farmers, and industry stakeholders a clearer understanding of the economic factors affecting dairy product processing. The bill, which would be known as the "Fair Milk Pricing for Farmers Act," represents an effort to provide more comprehensive data about the dairy manufacturing sector.
