Dairy Donation Program Cancelled
Congress has stopped funding the Dairy Donation Program, so the Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) removed its implementing regulations. That means AMS has no authority to take further action and no more actions or money will flow through this program; dairy processors and other stakeholders can no longer use it.
Regulatory Removal Improves Transparency
AMS removed the Dairy Donation Program regulations from its rules, which the document says will provide transparency and may reduce confusion. This change helps dairy processors and other stakeholders by clarifying that the obsolete rules no longer apply.
