Your Perspective... As we come out of the worst milk price cycle our industry has ever seen, it is important for us to remain dilligent in working to find solutions to these volatile cycles. Collaborating with other industry groups and cooperatives on programs that will allow us to better manage supply and demand in the future will help to minimize volatility in the industry. Your perspective on these programs is crucial.
