If you are wondering how proposed changes to the Federal Milk Marketing Order could impact your milk check, or perhaps you have asked yourself, would we be better off without a federal order system altogether?  

Well, today we are taking an in-depth look at making allowances, component changes, and the logistical and financial implications of these recommendations.

Our guest today is Sara Dorland. As managing partner with Ceres Risk Management, she joins us to share her insights on the Federal Milk Marketing Order (FMMO) hearings, emphasizing five priority items impacting milk markets and your future milk check.

Based in Sun Valley, Idaho, Sara brings 25 years of studying milk markets and assisting dairy producers and manufacturers with market education, forecasts, and risk management. Her background includes serving as the director of risk management for Darigold, Inc. the fourth-largest dairy cooperative in the United States. 

In fact, she has lived through the dissolution of the federal order system in parts of  Utah and Idaho. 

Get ready to hear about this and more with Sara Dorland.
