Democrats in the United States Senate and House of Representatives have introduced bills that, if passed, would require dairy processing companies to reveal their costs every two years.
Because Republicans hold majorities in both the Senate and House and recent votes have been on party lines, the bills are unlikely to be passed into law.
“Requiring manufacturers to report dairy processing costs on a biennial basis will give dairy producers, processors, and cooperatives the data they need to ensure that their prices accurate reflect the costs of production.,” the Democrats said.
