I mentioned this 2-3 weeks ago on a thread about viability of dairy farming. This is before the NH state legislature and is expected to pass.
Dairy premium fund.
Establishes a program in which milk processors may affix a NH (or New England milk label) to dairy products. Money collected for use of the label would go into the Dairy Premium Fund and be used for promoting the program and for making payments to eligible NH dairy farmers. Stipulates 86% of funds generated would have to go back to dairy farmers with 14% of funds generated available for marketing and promotion of the program. To be eligible to receive dairy premium fund payments, dairy farmers would have to direct .10 cents of their milk promotion deduction to Granite State Dairy Promotion. Payments would be distributed based on production. The dairy premium program and fund would be administered by the Commissioner of Agriculture with advice from a Dairy Premium Fund Board consisting of 9 people and made up of dairy farmers (4), a milk processor, a milk retailer, and a member of the general public. The Board would be chaired by the Commissioner with the Executive Director of Granite State Dairy Promotion serving as the Vice-Chair. The bill also authorizes the Commissioner to utilize up to $200,000 from the Agricultural Product and Scale Testing Fund for initial promotion of the Dairy Premium Program. Because of the way milk is procured, the Commissioner will be introducing an amendment at the hearing enabling the development of a New England milk label in addition to a New Hampshire milk label Farm Bureau supports.
Sorry, I can't tell you what the rate of deduction currently is for milk promotion, but the way milk consumption per capita in the US has been dropping, they obviously need to try something new.
