On Tuesday, July 18, 2023, from 12 noon–1pm (ET), Penn State Law’s Center for Agricultural and Shale Law will conduct the latest installment in its Quarterly Dairy Legal Webinar series. Each quarter’s free one-hour webinar covers the legal and regulatory developments in the U.S. dairy industry from the preceding quarter, as well as including an in-depth look at a single focus topic of law, regulation, or government policy of interest to dairy professionals of all kinds. The focus topic this quarter will be the administrative process to establish and amend Federal Milk Marketing Orders (FMMOs). The webinar will address the statutory authorization behind the entire FMMO system and discuss how FMMOs are administered in comparison to other marketing orders adopted by producers under federal law. The webinar will also provide some background on prior reform effort proposals. This background will be provided in order for participants to better understand the current reform proposals filed with USDA and how they may proceed. We’ll also touch upon the substance and run-up to the recent filings, their procedural posture, and some posturing of other sorts that has caused rifts between major players in the industry.
1 hour of substantive CLE credit is available for Pennsylvania licensed attorneys at no charge.
