This week's Open Mic guest is Gregg Doud, President and CEO of the National Milk Producers Federation. Dairy farmers are seeing better financial returns than in previous stages of a traditionally cyclical market. Doud says beef demand is providing uncharacteristically strong income support for dairy calves and cull animals, while consumer's protein demand is a boon for the industry. Milk producers are hopeful the new Dietary Guidelines report and MAHA Commission will provide an additional boost for their industry. He also discusses agricultural trade issues with Canada, Mexico and China and the need to get negotiations back on track.
