Join us for an exclusive event hosted by Edge Dairy Farmer Cooperative! Edge representatives are excited to share an update about our ongoing efforts to provide input and leadership in both the Federal Milk Marketing Order hearing and legislative Farm Bill space with you. This is your opportunity to gain valuable insights from industry experts Karen Gefvert and Lucas Sjostrom, who are both on staff with Edge. They will share why your involvement is crucial and how you can actively participate in shaping the process in Congress and at USDA. At Edge, we are committed to rebuilding trust in the producer-processor relationship. In draft legislation, Edge asks for a new era of assurance for both sides of the relationship. Ensuring farmers are paid twice a month, standard weights and measures are followed and a reasonable time for notice of milk supply changes are three items taken for granted in today’s system. Further, Edge believes it’s time for a conversation about how farmers are paid; there are options that can provide benefits to both milk buyers and farmers. Finally, in the Federal Order hearings Edge took a principled approach to maintain federal orders, improve risk management and to move toward a price discovery system that’s regularly updated. Join us November 6 from 12-2pm at Calico Skies Winery in Inwood, IA. The event is free, and lunch is provided thanks to the support of American Food Group. Don't miss out on this chance to get involved and make a difference. RSVP now and stand with Edge Dairy Farmer Cooperative in reshaping the dairy industry for the better. Together, we can create a more sustainable and prosperous future. Thank you, American Foods Group, for sponsoring this event.
