The Dairy Division’s regulation of the Louisiana dairy industry assures consumers a continued supply of high quality dairy products at fair and reasonable prices. Given the short shelf-life of fluid dairy products, orderly marketing is imperative to both the consuming public and the milk producers. The division works to help ensure that dairy farmers, processors, distributors and retailers receive a fair price and a stable market for their products.
The Dairy Division has four program areas consisting of the Milk Testing Program, the Milk Bonding Law and the Dairy Stabilization Board. The newest program for the dairy division is the coordination and determination of the Louisiana Dairy Producers’ Refundable Tax Credit Program.
