August 2021: joined Russell Redding, Secretary of the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture, for two events that highlight achievements we’ve made recently. The first was to celebrate the passage of a law that will make Pennsylvania’s dairy industry more competitive. The legislation permits Pennsylvania milk producers to use a “best by” date rather than a “sell by” date, which was one of the recommendations made to the Agriculture Committee by the Dairy Future Commission. This seemingly small change will help boost Pennsylvania milk sales. I’m confident my colleagues and I will be able to enact some of the other recommendations made by the Dairy Future Commission, which was created by the 2019 Farm Bill.
