More than 80 National Milk Producers Federation (NMPF) board members and young dairy farmers met with about 100 congressional offices, advocating on behalf of dairy on issues ranging from agricultural labor to the recent return of New World screwworm to the United States.

NMPF’s Key Action Items

NMPF members called for several key actions, including passing a farm bill through the full Congress in 2026, maintaining access to all types of milk in school meal programs, and passing the DAIRY PRIDE Act to ensure integrity in milk labeling.

The fly-in was organized by NMPF’s Young Cooperators program and also included committee meetings and a workshop on Artificial Intelligence for co-op executives. NMPF leadership continues its meetings this week, discussing animal health and well-being along with other important industry topics.
