California dairy farmers continue their efforts to convince the California Department of Food and Agriculture to bring milk prices into better alignment with the prices being paid for milk throughout the country. Those who organized a mid-September rally in Sacramento to put pressure on the CDFA have continued to strategize on next steps.

They are planning another rally in Sacramento on Oct. 18 and a pre-rally prep session Oct. 4 at Lucio Hay (10810 Avenue 140, Tulare, California).

The group has set up a website to help promote the rallies, as well as a Facebook page called Protesting CDFA. PD
