Dairy Diversion Program
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Dairy Diversion Program is a voluntary supply control program authorized by the Dairy Production Stabilization Act of 1983 (P.L. 98-180, Title I) of the United States, under which producers in 1984–85 received payments of $10/cwt. of milk, for reducing their milk marketings by between 5% and 30% below an earlier base period.
The United States government has passed around 18 bills involving dairy since 1930.[1] In the 1970s and 1980s, the US government drafted legislation to stabilize dairy prices through one of these dairy bills. [1] During the early 1980s, the US government passed the Dairy Production Stabilization Act of 1983. This act allowed the programs, the Dairy Diversion Program and the Dairy Termination Program, to operate during this period.[1] The Dairy Diversion Program was implemented from January 1984 to March 1985, designed to stabilize milk supply and demand.[1][2] Afterwards, the Dairy Termination Program followed in 1986, ending around 1987.[3]
