This bill would establish new pricing rules to help dairy farmers get fairer payments for their milk from large processors and retailers. The legislation aims to prevent big companies from paying farmers too little while keeping prices high for consumers, giving farmers more bargaining power in negotiations. Dairy farmers and agricultural groups would be the main beneficiaries, while milk processors and distributors would face new regulatory requirements.
