We’re watching the markets…so you don’t have to

Keeping up-to-date on market information that affects the price dairy farmers receive for their milk is essential. But watching the markets can be a full-time job. That’s why we have created the Market Update section for you.

Market Update makes it easy for you to check prices on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) and the National Association of Statistical Surveys (NASS).

DFA also offers a Forward Contracting Program exclusively to member-producers for farmers to help in managing their price risk.
