Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.
Stronger payouts when processors don't pay
If a processor fails to pay as required, they owe you the purchase price, interest at the highest legal rate from when they took your milk, and your reasonable attorney fees.
Milk sale money held for producers
Processors must hold all sale money in trust for you until you are paid in full. After a late payment, you can require an escrow; deposits equal payment × (your milk ÷ total milk) in a separate, insured, interest‑bearing Kansas account. Escrows can be combined and, if short, paid pro rata; the bank pays you promptly when you show ID. Money held in trust or escrow is your property. To keep these protections, send written notice within 30 business days after a missed final payment or 15 business days after a bounced payment; sales through a cooperative marketing agent are excluded.
Full-payment rules for raw milk sales
A processor cannot buy your raw milk unless payment follows the federal milk marketing order and any terms you both agree to. Payment must be cash, a full-amount check, or a full-amount wire transfer. A payment sent to the federal market administrator for you under the federal order counts as payment to you.
