The last farm bill is set to expire January 1st, when this bill expires the "permanent law" will make the prices of dairy go up the USDA will take charge on the 31st of January. The result of the permanent law is called the dairy cliff this would make milk prices go up to about $8 a gallon which equals almost $37.20 per hundredweight, "by the time the USDA steps in congress should have another farm bill made and in effect" said Tom Vilsack US Secretary of Agriculture. When a new bill comes out the prices should level out back to normal, for now dairy farmers are glad to be able to sell there milk for what they have wanted it to be.
My point of view on this topic is that it is great that the prices are going up so the dairy farmers are able to make some money, but the high prices will make consumers get away from the dairy products that help keep the market up.
