California dairies whey in on pricing

摘要

Dairy farmers in the US state of California have been urging the state's department of food and agriculture to change how whey is valued in the current milk pricing formula. A two-day hearing was the result of petitions from two producer groups, which say that the farmers are being shortchanged by the undervaluation of the state's Class 4b whey factor, which is applied to milk sold to cheese manufacturers.
