Introductions and Acknowledgments
It has been my honor to serve as Secretary of the National Association of Dairy
Regulatory Officials (NADRO) during 2009-2010. I am thankful for the support of the
organization’s officers and members and I am appreciative of their professionalism,
expertise and dedication to protecting public health and promoting effective regulation of
the dairy industry.
I am especially appreciative of the efforts of Cathleen Cotton and her colleagues at the
Maine Department of Agriculture, Food and Rural Resources who dedicated a great
deal of their time to make NADRO’s 52nd Annual Meeting a huge success.
Thanks to President Linda Stratton (WY) and the other officers who worked diligently
behind the scenes to organize and execute a successful event. A special thanks to the
presenters who provided us with excellent information and to our members and guests
who were thoughtfully engaged during each session.
The information contained within the pages of this report provides only a glimpse of the
knowledge shared during our very productive meeting. As you review
this document, I am certain you will recognize the value of this information and that you
will also be reminded of the significance of the opportunities provided each year at our
annual meeting to build relationships with your colleagues in the field of dairy regulation.
These relationships, and the work we do together as a regulatory community,
strengthen our ability to assure the safety of the nations’ milk supply for all consumers.
I hope you enjoy the 2010 Annual Report and I look forward to seeing you at next year’s
annual NADRO meeting.
Sincerely,
Susan K. Esser, Secretary

To the members of NADRO:
It has been a privilege and an honor serving as President. With economic trying
times for state programs it is difficult to travel to conferences. But as small as this
organization is, it has a strong voice when it comes to issues of dairy programs.
I was not able to attend the NASDA meetings but Cathy Kaszowski attended on
behalf. I want to thank her for being a great representative of NADRO. The board
has been very supportive and active in making updated changes to the
organization.
The list of members and other organization database has been developed by Eunice
Schlappi and Chris Thompson. This has helped to promote who and what NADRO
is all about.
The committees and other Executive committee members have been helpful in
updating and making needed changes to the NADRO Constitution and By Laws
that was taken to the membership this year.
Again it has been an honor serving as President.
Respectfully Submitted,
Linda Stratton

52nd Annual Meeting
President Elect’s Report
I attended the NASDA Mid-Year meeting in Washington, DC, February 4th-7th, 2010.
The meeting took place during one of the biggest snow storms the DC area has seen in
the last century. Many people who had registered for the meeting were unable to
attend. Some of the attendees staying at other hotels in the city couldn’t make it to the
meeting; therefore, many of the presentations were done via conference calls.
Secretary of Agriculture, Tom Vilsack said that 85% of farm income now comes from off
the farm, he spoke of the importance of rural development programs to increase farm
income, and these include expanding buy local campaigns, increased availability of
broadband access to expand global markets and the increased use of bio-fuels and
renewable energy. He said that USDA and the Department of Energy are now working
together concerning bio-fuels, which they had not done in the past; he also spoke of
second and third generation bio-fuels as much more efficient than the first.
Secretary Vilsack reported that $120 million had been spent on the National Animal
Identification System (NAIS) and that only 36% of producers had participated. USDA
had fifteen listening sessions and now has a new approach; the sole focus will be on
traceability to contain disease, he wants it to be federally supported but led by the
states. An advisory committee will be established to focus on animals in interstate
commerce.
An APHIS representative spoke of the changes in the TB and Brucellosis programs,
these programs will no longer be state based and states will not be downgraded if one
or two herds in the state test positive. The Brucellosis Ring Test will no longer be
necessary in states that have been free for at least five years. APHIS will only be
involved in interstate commerce, but stockyards and concentration points will be
considered interstate commerce. A farmer with pastures in two states will not be
considered interstate, it will be left to the two states to work it out; and he also stressed
the importance of meeting international certification.
The APHIS representative also spoke about animal welfare, he said that NASDA will be
forming a task force to look at this issue; it will emphasize the good that departments do
and will work together with the USDA.
Michael Taylor, Deputy Commissioner for Food with the FDA, spoke; he was appointed
in January 2010 and is the first individual to hold this position. He heads the Office of
Foods which was created in August 2009 to address food safety. He said that he wants
to shift from a reactionary role to prevention. He would like to see more sharing of
information between FDA and the states, and he wants to work towards more uniformity
among the states. He is aiming for more funding for states to conduct FDA inspections,
he also wants to hold imports to the same standards as domestic products and he
would like to see more scale appropriate regulations implemented.
NADRO submitted one Action Request to NASDA which was passed as amended.
“NASDA accepts the support of NADRO to continue our efforts to promote the
establishment of a comprehensive National Food Safety Plan, which expressly
incorporates, recognizes and uses the capabilities of state and local food safety
regulatory programs.”
During regional meetings the Northeast discussed dairy pricing. What will happen when
co-ops working together (CWT) program expires? Not enough farmers have been
paying into the program to keep it going, there is not much agreement on what the next
step should be, opinions vary from one co-op to the next and one region of the country
to the next. Some possibilities include supply management, growth management, and a
floor on the Class I price or an insurance program.
NASDA President Ed Kee, Delaware Secretary of Agriculture, addressed the regional
meetings. NASDA has been losing money since 2004, meetings have been running at
a loss but that will not happen anymore starting with the next meeting. NASDA has not
increased its dues, but is asking states for supplemental contributions. Secretary Kee
said that 20 states have already contributed extra and another four were in the process
of doing so. A committee was being formed to look at the dues structure and whether
larger states should pay more.

NADRO Action Item
July 14, 2010
The National Association of Dairy Regulatory Officials (NADRO) supports
NASDA’s efforts to promote the establishment of a comprehensive, national food
safety plan which expressly incorporates, recognizes and uses the capabilities of
state and local food safety regulatory programs. This integrated system would
enhance the food and dairy products safety capacity of federal, state and local
government agencies.
NADRO supports the establishment of funding mechanisms for this integrated
food and dairy safety system and encourages the equitable distribution of funds
between food and dairy inspection programs.
NADRO recognizes the essential role that the NCIMS plays in assuring the
safety of the nation’s milk supply.
NADRO recognizes that many states have contracts with FDA to conduct food
and dairy processing plant inspections and food safety training, however these
contracts are limited to funding out of state travel for the training of state
food/dairy safety regulators.
NADRO recognizes the important role of highly trained state regulatory staff in
milk safety assurance for consumers.
Action Request
The National Association of Dairy Regulatory Officials requests NASDA to
continue to promote the establishment of a comprehensive national food safety
plan which expressly incorporates, recognizes and uses the capabilities of state
and local food and dairy safety regulatory programs. NADRO requests NASDA
to encourage FDA to make funds available through contracts and grants to
enable state government agencies to attend both in and out of state dairy and
food safety training for state regulatory officials.


The EU has requested that the U.S.
evaluates their system to determine whether
it is equivalent to the U.S. system for
regulating Grade “A” dairy products.

In February 2009, FDA wrote a letter to the
European Commission affirming our
commitment to moving the Grade “A”
equivalence process forward.

maintain records sufficient to document
compliance with the ban on prohibited cattle
materials
BSE – Amendments/Final Rule

In September 2005, the IFR was amended to allow
use of the small intestine, minus the distal ileum
(which is a specified risk material), in human food
and cosmetics

The amendments also clarified that milk and milk
products, hide and hide-derived products, and
tallow derivatives are not prohibited cattle

Federal Milk Marketing Orders





Authorized by the AMAA of 1937, as amended
Adequate supply of fluid (beverage) milk for
processors and consumers
Structure for marketing – regulates handlers
Producers request and maintain
Paid for by handlers – not dairy farmers
FMMOs Help Producers By:
•
•
•
•
Establishing monthly minimum prices based on
supply and demand paid by handlers
Allowing market forces to determine over-order
payments
Ensure proper payments by:
 Auditing handler records for milk use
 Verifying weights and tests of milk
 Enforcing timely payments
Providing substantial market information
3
Basic Reasons for Establishing
FMMOs Continue Today:
A Federal Milk Order Does:
•
Inherent instability in milk markets
 Highly perishable, ship daily, expensive to transport
 Reserve supply is needed to balance markets
 Producers are price takers
Contributes to market power balance between
producers and processors
Contributes to stable fluid milk supply for consumers
•
•
•
A Federal Milk Order Does Not:

Regulate producers or guarantee a market for milk

Set maximum levels of prices to producers

Set wholesale or retail packaged milk prices
•
Regulate from whom a handler may buy or sell milk

Restrict production

Establish sanitary or quality standards
Important Concepts

•
•
•
•
Provide a framework to make buying and selling
milk a more orderly process.
Allow market supply and demand conditions to
determine the basic price level of milk.
Enforce timely minimum payments to producers.
Promote equity among handlers by establishing
identical minimum class prices for all handlers
similarly located.
Provides market statistics and economic analyses
Important Concepts

Classified Pricing
 Handlers pay for milk based upon how it is used
(Class I, II, III, IV)
 Manufacturing uses based upon competitive
prices for dairy products
 Same in all locations
 Class I differential added for milk in fluid use to
reflect additional costs – primarily
transportation and quality
Sharing the Higher-Valued Milk Utilization
Marketwide Pooling
Class I

 Total classified value of milk for the market is
averaged or “pooled” among ALL dairy farmers
who ship to the market regardless of how their
milk is used

Julie-Marie R. Bickford
Ms. Bickford is the Executive Director of the Maine Dairy Industry Association, a group
that represents all of Maine’s 310 dairy farmers. Ms. Bickford has held the position for
almost 10 years.
Julie-Marie grew up in Northern Maine in an active agricultural community whose
dominant crops were potatoes, broccoli and grains. She received her BA in
Government/American Studies from Bowdoin College and following a brief career as a
television videographer/reporter, she started entered public service.
Julie-Marie was elected to the Maine Legislature in 1992 and served two terms in the
House of Representatives. She continued to expand her professional resume by
serving as the Chief of Staff to the House Minority Caucus in the Maine Legislature, as
well as staffing 2 U.S. Senators.
During this time Julie-Marie also operated her own public relations/grassroots advocacy
consulting firm. In 1998 she began to focus on her consulting business full time.
In 2001 Julie-Marie was hired as a consultant to staff the newly reconstituted Maine
Dairy Industry Association (MDIA), which was transitioning from an ad hoc part-time
volunteer organization to a more structured trade association. In 2006 Julie-Marie was
officially hired as the full-time executive director of MDIA.
MDIA has seen significant growth in both the scope and magnitude of activities and
participation in the Maine agricultural and governmental communities since first hiring
Ms. Bickford. MDIA maintains an active presence in the Maine State Legislature,
regulatory actions across Maine state government, US Congressional legislative
proposals , USDA regulatory hearings, and within the Federal Order pricing system.
Most recently, MDIA was a featured presenter at US Secretary Vilsack’s special task
force on dairy pricing and MDIA has representation on 2 panels during the US
Department of Justice’s listening sessions on competition in the dairy industry that were
held in Madison, WI.
MDIA representatives have traveled throughout New England and as far away asto New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Florida, New Mexico, Wisconsin, Kansas and
Washington, DC to promote a federal order proposal that USDA has been considering
since 2005 that would modify the way milk is priced to be more responsive to the needs
of producers. MDIA has had articles published in Eastern Dairy Business and Hoard’s
Dairyman, as well as many New England newspapers and magazines.
Julie-Marie continues to coordinate MDIA activities along with a 12-member Board of
Directors. She resides in Topsham, Maine with her 11 year old son and 5 year old
daughter.

Program
•
•
•
•
•
It reduces demand for U.S. dairy products
Dampens our ability to export
Encourages more foreign imports into the U.S.
Acts as a disincentive to product innovation.
Supports dairy farmers around the world and
disadvantages U.S. dairy farmers.
• Isn’t managed to fulfill its objectives.
• Achieves price levels not relevant to farmers in 2010.
• It is an inconsistent safety net program for dairy
farmers facing very low operating margins.
• Does not adequately offset high feed costs.
• Its price target does not track national milk prices.
• Foundation for the Future (FFTF) changes the focus
from price to margins.
• Unlike MILC, FFTF treats all farmers equally regardless
of size or region.

2. DAIRY PRODUCER MARGIN
PROTECTION PROGRAM
The Principles of the DPMPP
• The DPMPP provides two levels of coverage:
• DPMPP supports producer margins, not prices.
• DPMPP addresses catastrophic conditions and
persistent periods of low margins each of which can
result in the severe loss of equity.
• The DPMPP would be operated by the Farm Service
Agency (FSA).
• DPMPP has no payment limitations based on income
and/or size of herd (milk production).
7
– A Base Plan at no cost to producers
– A Supplemental Plan that allows producers to purchase
additional coverage.
• The DPMPP will not cover new production beyond the
milk base.
• Margin guarantees are fixed for the duration of the
Farm Bill.
8
New Measure of the Producer Margin
• The “Margin” is defined as the All Milk Price calculated
by NASS minus the total cost of purchased feed
needed to produce a hundredweight of milk.
3. FEDERAL MILK MARKETING
ORDER REFORM
FFTF is evaluating revisions to the Federal Milk
Marketing Order (FMMO) Program with three primary
objectives in mind :
• To address the inequities and the inadequacies of
end-product price formulas;
• To encourage manufacturers to produce new
products resulting in higher returns both to
themselves and to dairy producers;
• To achieve an end result that is as revenue neutral to
producers as possible.
• The feed cost uses a new ration developed by NMPF
and is calculated by including all cows on a dairy farm,
(i.e. hospital cows, dry cows) as well as replacement
calves and heifers.

4. DAIRY MARKET STABILIZATION
PROGRAM
The benefits of making changes would include:
• The DMSP is intended to absorb some of the shocks
that market volatility may cause.
• The DMSP designed to act swiftly, but infrequently, to
address brief imbalances in the market.
• DMSP based on a margin, works in conjunction with
the Dairy Producer Margin Protection Program
(DPMPP).
• DMSP will use the same margin determined monthly
for the DPMPP.
• True market price discovery for milk used in manufactured
products
• Eliminating end-product pricing formulas
• Reducing price volatility - competitive pricing less volatile than
product price formulas
• Encourages product innovation by not locking manufacturers
into a minimum price based on the value of a dissimilar product.

Some of the Key Principles of the DMSP:

• Reduce margin volatility.
• Keep government intervention at a minimum.
• Not encourage imports or negatively affect exports

EU SCC Threshold
– From comingled milk on tanker or silo to individual
farm
– Remains 400k regulatory threshold
• Implementation timeline
– Originally announced on Jan 26th effective
immediately
– Joint government and industry effort moved to
October 1st
– On-going government discussions with EU make

NMPF Perspective
• NMPF Policy Statement
– The Federation opposes the inclusion of
unnecessary provisions (e.g., quality
parameters) in regulations related to food
safety.
• Lowering SCC levels from the current
750,000 cells/ml has no public health
significance

processor-level either from tankers received or silos to individual
farms.
• A meeting took place last week between the U.S. and EU
representatives to clarify details of how the EU requirements are
implemented in Member states.
• Meeting went well. A written report is being prepared so the
details are clear and all representatives have the same
understanding of the discussions.
• The implementation date is uncertain because it is the adoption
date of the new EU certificate by the EU Commission.

Summary of Milk Production
All Milk Price
All Milk Price (Entire U.S.)
• U.S. milk production continues to post gains vs. the prior year due to
robust gains in milk per cow.
• In March 2010, total milk production increased 0.6% vs. last year
due to a 2.7% gain in milk per cow that offset the 2.1%, or 193,000
head decrease in the U.S. dairy herd.
• In 2010, milk per cow will be the dominant factor impacting U.S. milk
production
• Significant changes in milk production among regional milk sheds

1% milk fat;
Water is listed first in ingredient statement
1.25 g/8 fl oz. equates to 0.5% protein
Not Grade “A”: less than 65% milk and
less than 2.0% milk protein
6
1/10/2011
Alpina Yogurt
3 grams protein per 135 gram serving
equals 2.22% protein

Alpina Avena Canela



Milk components equal 49.9%
Not a Grade A product
less than 65% milk product
PMO Definition X
Alpina Original, Finesse, Canela


All three misbranded because they contain
contradictory terms.
Will continue to include all milk and milk products with a
Federal standard of identity that have previously been
listed in the PMO

Grade "A" Milk and Milk Products include:
1. All milk and milk products with a standard of identity provided for

in 21 CFR Part 131, excluding 21 CFR Part 131.120 Sweetened
Condensed Milk.
2. Cottage cheese (21 CFR Part 133.128) and Dry curd cottage
cheese (21 CFR Part 131.129). 1
3. Whey and whey products as defined in 21 CFR 184.1979,
184.1979a, 184.1979b, 184.1979c, and Section 1, Definition QQ of
this Ordinance.
Each labeled as “Ultra Pasteurized” and
“No refrigeration needed before opening”
Falls under “Low Acid Canned Foods” 21
CFR Part 113
Needs an approved process
PMO Definition X


Will include all milk and milk products with a Federal
standard of identity that been modified under the
provisions of an FDA authorized nutrient content claim
4. Modified versions of these foods listed above in
Items 1 and 2, pursuant to 21 CFR Part 130.10 requirements for foods named by use of a nutrient
content claim and a standardized term.

Examples: Reduced Sugar Yogurt, Fat Free Yogurt
PMO Definition X


Will include all milk and milk
products that have added
safe ingredients or other
foods
5. Milk and milk products as
defined in Items 1, 2, 3 and
4 above, packaged in
combination with food(s) not
included in this definition
that are appropriately labeled
with a statement of identity
to describe the food(s) in
final packaged form (e.g., "
cottage cheese with
pineapple", "fat free milk
with plant sterols".)
8
1/10/2011
PMO Definition X
For non-standard products such as:

Milk Beverages, Smoothies, Cultured Dairy
Desserts, Protein Shakes

6. Products not included in Items 1-5 are Grade
"A" milk products which have a minimum of
2.0% milk protein (Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen
(TKN) X 6.38) and a minimum of sixty-five
percent (65%) by weight milk, milk product or
a combination of milk products
Both protein and milk ingredient weight
minimums must be met


PMO Definition X
6. Products not included in Items 1-5 are Grade "A" milk products
which have a minimum of 2.0% milk protein (Total
Kjeldahl Nitrogen (TKN) X 6.38) and a minimum of sixty-five
percent (65%) by weight milk, milk product or a combination of
milk products

Must determine the % milk protein, which can be estimated from
the nutrition fact panel by dividing the grams of protein per
serving by the weight of the serving.

However, keep in mind that nutrition fact information allows
rounding of values from 0.5 to be rounded up to 1.0

If the level of protein is close to 2.0 % then you would want
to verify the % protein by analytical testing or processor
information.

4 g/240ml (244g) = 1.639% protein (not Grade A)
PMO Definition X

6. Products not included in Items 1-5 are Grade "A"
milk products which have a minimum of 2.0% milk
protein (Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen (TKN) X 6.38) and a
minimum of sixty-five percent (65%) by weight
milk, milk product or a combination of milk
products
Calculation of the weight of milk, milk product or
combination milk products cannot easily be determined
from the ingredient declaration due to FDA labeling
regulations (21 CFR 101.4) that permit the optional
use of class name for some milk ingredients and the
incorporation of water used to reconstitute an
ingredient.

FDA labeling regulations (21 CFR 101.4) that permit:

PMO Definition X


The optional use of class name for some milk
ingredients:
(3) Skim milk, concentrated skim milk, reconstituted skim milk, and
nonfat dry milk may be declared as ``skim milk’’ or ``nonfat
milk’’.
(4) Milk, concentrated milk, reconstituted milk, and dry whole milk
may be declared as “milk’’.
(7) Whey, concentrated whey, reconstituted whey, and dried whey
may be declared as “whey’’.
(8) Cream, reconstituted cream, dried cream, and plastic cream
(sometimes known as concentrated milk fat) may be declared
as "cream’’.
PMO Definition X





The use of class name for some milk ingredients:
(c) When water is added to reconstitute, completely or
partially, an ingredient permitted by paragraph (b) of this
section to be declared by a class name, the position of the
ingredient class name in the ingredient statement shall be
determined by the weight of the unreconstituted ingredient
plus the weight of the quantity of water added to reconstitute
that ingredient, up to the amount of water needed to
reconstitute the ingredient to single strength. Any water
added in excess of the amount of water needed to
reconstitute the ingredient to single strength.
Example: A smoothie made with dried nonfat milk, water,
whey and strawberry concentrate could be declared as either:
"Ingredients: Nonfat milk, whey strawberry concentrate"
"Ingredients: Water, nonfat milk, whey, strawberry
concentrate"
PMO Definition X

6. Products not included in Items 1-5 are Grade "A" milk
products which have a minimum of 2.0% milk protein
(Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen (TKN) X 6.38) and a minimum
of sixty-five percent (65%) by weight milk, milk product
or a combination of milk products



Verification of % milk protein and weight of milk ingredient is
best determined from the processor supplying necessary
information of formula
FDA is working to provide a Memoranda (M-I) about the new
definition X interpretation.
IDFA will be working to provide FDA with industry issues and
questions about the definition, including how to calculate the
percentage of dried or reconstituted milk and milk products used
9
1/10/2011
PMO Definition X

Safe and suitable (as defined in 21 CFR 130.3(d)) non-grade “A”
dairy ingredients, can be utilized in the products defined in Items 16 when added to a level needed for a functional or technical effect,
and limited by Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) and are either:




This definition does not include
1. A milk or milk product in which the milkfat of the
milk or milk product has been substituted in part or
in whole by any other animal or vegetable fat;
provided that other fat sources may be included
when they are used for purposes currently
accepted in any other Grade “A” milk or milk
product, such as carriers for vitamins and as an
ingredient in emulsifiers and stabilizers;
2. Coffee based products where coffee or water is the
primary ingredient as indicated in the ingredient
statement;
3. Tea based products where tea or water is the
primary ingredient as indicated in the ingredient
statement;
a) Prior sanctioned or otherwise approved by FDA, or
b) GRAS (generally recognized as safe), or
c) An approved food additive listed in the CFR.
Except that with respect to those products which have a federal
standard of identity, only ingredients provided for in the standard
may be utilized.


PMO Definition X

Note: When a non-grade "A" dairy ingredient is used to increase weight
or volume of the product, or displace grade "A" dairy ingredients, this
use is not a suitable functional or technical effect.
Hypothetical example: Dairy based mineral blend
functioning to increase calcium and potassium level in a
milk beverage from a non-grade A source could be used.
PMO Definition X

This definition does not include:
4. Dietary products (21 CFR 130.10);
5. Infant formula;
6. Ice cream or other frozen desserts;
7. Butter;
8. Cheese (standardized or non-standardized); or
9. Puddings.
Definition X
Review products made in your stateAsk for a list of all products at each plant; not just the
“grade A” ones –
We found a .5% Buttermilk being manufactured in a grade
A plant that was only going to a salad dressing
manufacturer. The plant considered the product to be a
manufactured product and not grade A.
We only became aware of the product because we asked
for a list of all products.
Executive Board Issues


Request FDA provide guidance on how to
determine if milk and milk products
comply with new definition of Grade A.
Examples:


Ayran Yogurt Drink, Canada
Alpina Yogurt, Columbia
Definition X
Consider all of the cultured products that
are being made in manufactured milk
plants.
We have a number of small cheese plants
that have been making yogurt-like
products that will now be considered
grade A under Definition X.

FDA, National Center for Food Safety and Technology
Illinois Institute of Technology, Summit-Argo, IL
Definition X


Begin reviews as soon as FDA guidance is
available.
The sooner you identify products that will
fall under the new Definition X the more
time the processor will have to make
adjustments. They could reformulate to
fall outside Definition X or identify
alternative products as substitutes.

weight of the serving.

However, keep in mind that nutrition fact information allows
rounding of values from 0.5 to be rounded up to 1.0

If the level of protein is close to 2.0 % then you would want to verify

Calculation of the weight of milk, milk product or
combination milk products cannot easily be determined from
the ingredient declaration due to FDA labeling regulations
(21 CFR 101.4) that permit the optional use of class name
for some milk ingredients and the incorporation of water
used to reconstitute an ingredient.

(c) When water is added to reconstitute, completely or partially, an
ingredient permitted by paragraph (b) of this section to be declared
by a class name, the position of the ingredient class name in the
ingredient statement shall be determined by the weight of the
unreconstituted ingredient plus the weight of the quantity of water
added to reconstitute that ingredient, up to the amount of water
needed to reconstitute the ingredient to single strength. Any water
added in excess of the amount of water needed to reconstitute the
ingredient to single strength.

strawberry concentrate could be declared as either:
"Ingredients: Nonfat milk, whey, strawberry concentrate"

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF
DAIRY REGULATORY OFFICIALS FAQs
New Name, Same Mission: Protecting public health and promoting regulatory uniformity and
efficiency in the dairy industry.
For 50 years, the Dairy Division of the National Association of State Departments of Agriculture
has worked diligently to address concerns of the dairy industry and to make recommendations
to relevant federal agencies and national organization. However, our organization recognized
that each state’s dairy regulatory structure can be unique. Many states have dairy regulatory
units administered within departments of agriculture, others in departments of health.
Furthermore, in other states, dairy regulators reside in specialized units or may be housed in
multiple state agencies, sharing responsibilities within the state. Due to these diverse
arrangements, we embarked on establishing a new name for our organization to more clearly
identify our members and our goals. In December 2008, we became officially known as the
National Association of Dairy Regulatory Officials.
The questions and answers below provide more information about our organization and our
name change.
Q: Why did DDNASDA pursue a name change?
A: The driving force behind the name change was the desire to have a name to more clearly
identify our organization’s goals and to be more inclusive of the diverse dairy regulatory
agencies across the US. While DDNASDA meetings have regularly been attended by
representatives from departments of agriculture, health and other agencies; the name seemed
to convey exclusiveness to only departments of agriculture. Our new name is intended to be
inviting to the breadth of dairy regulatory agencies across the US.
Q: How did the organization reach a decision on the name change?
A: A committee was formed in 2007 to consider possible names. The committee made a
recommendation at our July 2008 meeting. Per our Constitution and By Laws, the appropriate
changes were communicated to our membership and the document revisions were unanimously
approved during special December 5, 2008 conference call meeting.
Q: What are the rights and privileges of NADRO member states?
A: Each member state is provided one vote on questions brought before the members at our
annual or special meetings. Members may also bring up items of business for discussion at
meetings. This is particularly important when a member state desires to make
recommendations to federal agencies or national organizations.
Q: What if a state has multiple agencies involved in dairy regulatory matters? Who is
assigned to vote at NADRO meetings?
A: Each member state has one vote. Per the Constitution, a delegate designation form is
submitted to NADRO prior to the annual meeting. The form provides for specification of one
delegate and an alternate. Each state should determine these representatives prior to
submitting these forms.
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF
DAIRY REGULATORY OFFICIALS FAQs
Q: What is the relationship between NADRO and the NCIMS?
A: Many NADRO members are also delegates and participants in the NCIMS, however, these
organizations should not be confused. The NCIMS convenes biannually in odd years to discuss
items relevant to the Pasteurized Milk Ordinance (PMO) and supporting documents. While the
PMO is regularly discussed at NADRO meetings, our meetings tend to have a broader context.
NADRO meetings also tend to be smaller and conducted in a less formal manner.
Q: Who attends NADRO meetings?
A: NADRO meetings are attended by a wide range of professionals involved with the dairy
industry. As stated above, each member state is provided with one vote, however, a number of
state agencies regularly send multiple representatives to the annual meeting. Federal agency
and industry representatives for producers, processors and allied industries are also regular
participants at the annual meeting.
A: What is the normal composition of the NADRO meeting program?
NADRO meetings are conducted in a relaxed manner and provide many networking
opportunities for representative to become better acquainted with colleagues from across the
US. A member of each state in attendance is provided the opportunity to brief the audience on
news regarding their home state’s dairy industry. The formal program regularly includes
speakers from FDA, USDA, National Milk Producers Federation, International Dairy Foods
Association and groups such as the American Dairy Products Association. Additionally, the host
state typically arranges for speakers to address topics relevant to their state’s or region’s dairy
industry. These speakers are often industry and university leaders from the area.
Also, each meeting typically includes a brief tour of a unique aspect of the host state’s
agriculture. A banquet is scheduled on the last evening of the meeting. Each attendee brings a
gift to the banquet representative of their home state or organization. At the conclusion of
banquet, gifts are exchanged among attendees. The banquet provides a nice opportunity for
fun and camaraderie.
Q: How can I find out more about NADRO?
A: Please feel free to contact any of our current officers about NADRO. Their contact
information can be found in the registrant section of this report.
