O DAIRY Act of 2025
The O DAIRY Act of 2025 provides targeted support for organic dairy farmers by extending emergency disaster assistance to cover losses from rising organic feed costs that reduce net income by over 10% annually. It requires the USDA to collect and publish detailed cost-of-production data for organic milk, including regional feed prices and milk sales data through a new monthly "Organic All Milk Prices Survey." The bill also mandates the development of a safety net program prioritizing small organic dairy operations and establishes a $20 million infrastructure funding program to support regional processing facilities, farm aggregation systems, and new organic dairy processing plants serving small producers. Additionally, it creates five-year-funded "Regional Organic Dairy Market Specialists" to research marketing challenges and recommend policies to improve market access and competition.
