February 2024 Quarterly Dairy Legal Webinar: Industry Round-Up

On Tuesday, February 13, 2024, from 12 noon-1:00 ET, conducted the latest installment in its Quarterly Dairy Legal Webinar series. Each quarter’s free one-hour webinar covers the legal and regulatory developments in the U.S. dairy industry from the preceding quarter, as well as including an in-depth look at a single focus topic of law, regulation, or government policy of interest to dairy professionals of all kinds.
This quarter’s focus topic-“An Overview of Pennsylvania Milk Marketing Law (Beyond the Over-Order Premium)”
Often, Pennsylvania’s Milk Marketing Law is equated simply with the law’s “over-order premium” (OOP), the extra mandated amount to be paid to Pennsylvania producers for qualifying milk volumes. However, the law establishes and regulates much more than just the OOP. This webinar provides an overview of Pennsylvania’s Milk Marketing Law and discuss several of the law’s provisions, including minimum wholesale and retail pricing and milk dealer licensing and bonding requirements.
