What are the benefits of the Milk Program to Kentucky’s dairy industry?

What's Inside

Help to ensure that milk haulers are making accurate measurements and conversions for the volume of milk in producer tanks and that they obtain a representative “universal sample” to be submitted for payment purposes.
Monitor the handling of producer samples from the hauler to the laboratory and ensure samples used for payment purposes are handled properly and analyzed within 72 hours.
Monitor laboratories that analyze producer samples for payment purposes. Laboratories are routinely evaluated to ensure they are following proper lab procedures and are utilizing accurately calibrated equipment.
Review pay records from weight tickets, to lab records, and final pay stubs to ensure Kentucky producers are paid accurately and to ensure that processors are billed accurately.
