The bill features new programs that assist dairy producers facing low prices, NMPF noted.
President Trump signed the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018, better known as the farm bill, on Dec. 20. Randy Mooney, chairman of the Arlington, Va.-based National Milk Producers Federation (NMPF) was in attendance; NMPF said Trump praised the hard work of American farmers and noted Congress’s efforts to assist them.
NMPF thanked President Trump for “signing a farm bill that enacts necessary reforms for dairy farmers.” The organization said it looks forward to working with USDA to quickly implement several new programs.
