S 3097 United States Senate · 118th Congress

O DAIRY Act of 2023

This bill, the O DAIRY Act of 2023, provides targeted support to organic dairy farmers facing financial challenges. It expands emergency disaster assistance to cover losses from increased organic feed costs (exceeding a 10% net income drop) and requires the USDA to collect and publish monthly organic milk prices and regional cost-of-production data. The bill also establishes new funding for infrastructure to boost regional organic dairy processing and creates regional specialists to study market trends and recommend support programs. These changes directly affect organic dairy farmers, with special emphasis on small operations, by improving data access and creating new financial safety nets.
