Dairy Promotion Program

Dairy Promotion Program

The United States Dairy Production Stabilization Act of 1983 (P.L. 98-180, Title I) authorized the Dairy Promotion Program, a national producer program for dairy product promotion, research, and nutrition education as part of a comprehensive strategy to increase human consumption of milk and dairy products and to reduce dairy surpluses. Dairy farmers fund this self-help program through a mandatory 15¢/cwt. assessment on all milk produced and marketed commercially in the 48 contiguous states. Dairy farmers can direct up to 10¢ of this assessment for contributions to qualified regional, state or local dairy product promotion, research or nutrition education programs. The national program is administered by the National Dairy Promotion and Research Board (Dairy Board), a group of 36 dairy farmers appointed by the Secretary of Agriculture to staggered 3-year terms. [1]

This program should not be confused with a separate, processor-funded National Fluid Milk Promotion Program.
