This week in DairyProfit Weekly:

1) ‘Farm Bill’ letters: One group of senators want to make sure they have means to study and eliminate end-product pricing; another group wants Farm Bill attached to “any” legislation by the end of the year.

 

2) Dairy trade: October’s dairy product export numbers are in, with mixed (but mostly good) news. $5 billion export year still on track.
