Dairy cooperatives and milk processors can apply for partial reimbursement for milk they donate to the needy through a new program administered by USDA. The Milk Donation Reimbursement Program, authorized by the 2018 Farm Bill, goes into effect Sept. 16. Under the program, eligible dairy organizations must partner with nonprofit organizations that distribute food to low-income individuals. The program is aimed at both reducing food waste and providing nutrition assistance. (Capital Press)
