We have been the voice of dairy farmers on Capitol Hill since 1916.
About us
The National Milk Producers Federation, established in 1916 and based in Arlington, VA, develops and carries out policies that advance the well-being of dairy producers and the cooperatives they own. The members of NMPF’s cooperatives produce the majority of the U.S. milk supply, making NMPF the voice of dairy producers on Capitol Hill and with government agencies. NMPF provides a forum through which dairy farmers and their cooperatives formulate policy on national issues that affect milk production and marketing. NMPF's contribution to this policy is aimed at improving the economic interests of dairy farmers, thus assuring the nation's consumers an adequate supply of pure, wholesome, and nutritious milk and dairy products. The policies of NMPF are determined by its members from across the nation. Therefore, the policy positions expressed by NMPF are the only nationwide expression of dairy farmers and their cooperatives on national public policy.

As the Dietary Guidelines for Americans Committee considers evidence for recommendations, it's helpful for everyone concerned about quality #nutrition to emphasize the unique, accessible and affordable benefits #dairy has to offer. This Call to Action helps emphasize that point. Please consider joining our call!

A lie goes halfway around the world while the truth is putting its boots on. So it's going with equity arguments around #dairy. #Milk and other dairy products offer unique, high-quality nutrition for all, yet dairy opponents are distorting #lactose intolerance to pretend it's inaccessible. We need to correct this misperception. With new #DietaryGuidelines nearing, we need your help.

Milk is a versatile, affordable #nutrition solution that can work for everyone, former USDA Food & Nutrition Service Service chief Brandon Lipps in a #Dairy Defined podcast. With new #dietaryguidelines under discussion, it's a timely message. NMPF's Miquela Hanselman joins Lipps on the podcast.

Packed with nutrients Americans need (and don't eat enough of, according to the #DietaryGuidelines for Americans), #dairy deserves a prominent place on the plate. Anything otherwise is a disservice, NMPF CEO Gregg Doud says in the latest CEO's Corner.

Last week we were honored to host 49 young dairy farmer leaders and co-op coordinators representing 17 states and ten member cooperatives at our #YoungCooperators Dairy Policy & Legislative Forum in Washington, D.C. The annual event included discussions about political engagement and policy issues, along with training on how to be an effective advocate and spokesperson for dairy. YCs then headed to Capitol Hill to speak with members of Congress and their staffs about the 2024 Farm Bill, the Dairy PRIDE Act and trade issues. We’re grateful for the engagement from year’s outstanding group of Young Cooperators, and for the generous support of the Farm Credit Council, whose support made the event possible.

The #farmbill approved by the House Agriculture Committee in May is a good template for future progress on federal policy for farmers. We look forward to working with lawmakers across the aisle, in both houses of #Congress, to craft a final law that strengthens the safety net for #dairy.

Federal milk-pricing modernization needs to put #farmers first, says NMPF President & CEO Gregg Doud in the latest CEO's Corner. That's not just because #dairy farmers deserve priority -- it's because the Federal Milk Marketing Order system literally exists for farmers.
