Quota Administration Program & Milk Security Trust Fund

cow

The Dairy Marketing Branch and Milk Pooling Branch functions were suspended at the end of 2018 when the dairy industry voted to move from a California State Order to a Federal Milk Marketing Order (FMMO).  As part of the wind down activities associated with the suspension, this website has been amended to reflect the change.  Questions on California milk pricing and pooling should be directed to https://www.cafmmo.com  The Quota Administrative Plan, which administers quota payments to producers, and the Milk Security Trust Fund, which provides resolution for defaulted payments to dairy farmers from milk handlers, will be reflected on this website.
