Milk From Family Dairies Act of 2026

The Milk From Family Dairies Act of 2026 establishes a new Dairy Market Stabilization Program to regulate milk production and pricing for commercial dairy producers across the United States. This program sets a variable floor price for milk based on production costs and limits how much milk each producer can sell without paying a fee, while redistributing those fees as dividends to producers who stay within their limits. The bill creates regional boards with producer representation to oversee these rules and includes a five-year referendum to determine if the program should continue. Additionally, the legislation suspends existing federal dairy insurance programs, increases import fees and lowers dairy import quotas, and provides funding for infrastructure and training aimed at supporting small-scale and family dairies.
