Title: ●Establishment of a Milk Donation Program  
Abstract:

This action begins the rulemaking process to establish a Milk Donation Program as mandated by the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 (2018 Farm Bill). The proposed program would allow milk processors who account to Federal milk marketing orders (FMMO) to claim limited reimbursements for the cost of farm milk used to make donated fluid milk products. Under the program, processors would partner with non-profit organizations to distribute the donated products to individuals in low-income groups.
