Statutes interpreted: ss. 97.20 and 100.06
This emergency rule reduces the amount of security which dairy plant operators file with the Department to secure payment of milk producer payrolls. This adjustment reflects a large decline in producer payrolls resulting from the recent drop in milk prices. This emergency rule will restore security requirements to normal levels, and will relieve dairy plant operators of excessive security requirements based on last year's high milk prices.
This adjustment will save dairy processors millions of dollars which they can put to other productive uses. It will maintain normal protection for milk producers based on this year's milk prices, and will help Wisconsin's dairy processing industry to remain financially viable.
