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 their product details, but also their production costs and product yield information for all products processed in the same facility. The Secretary of Agriculture would be mandated to collect and publish this cost and yield data every two years, beginning no later than three years after the bill's enactment. The goal appears to be increasing transparency in dairy product processing by requiring manufacturers to disclose more detailed financial and production information. By compelling manufacturers to report comprehensive data about their production costs and yields, the bill aims to provide a clearer picture of the economic factors affecting dairy processing. The bill, titled the "Fair Milk Pricing for Farmers Act", suggests an intent to potentially help farmers understand the economics of milk and dairy product production by making processing costs more publicly accessible.
