About the dairy checkoff
Dairy farmers across the country invest 15 cents for every 100 pounds of milk they sell to fund the national dairy checkoff program. ADA Mideast receives 10 cents of this mandatory funding for program implementation in Ohio and West Virginia. The remaining 5 cents goes to the National Dairy Board to fund national promotional, research and export programs.
Programs are developed in coordination with other state and regional promotion organizations through Dairy Management Inc., the joint venture between United Dairy Industry Association and National Dairy Promotion and Research Board. Such coordination of program development throughout the U.S. ensures the most effective and efficient use of the dairy farmers' promotion investments.
