Several national and multi-state organizations have sent a letter

to all members of Congress urging them to place a price floor of

$20 per hundredweight under all milk used for manufacturing

dairy products...According to USDA figures the all-milk price in

2009 was $12.80 per hundredweight and the average cost of

producing milk in 2009 was $22.28 per hundredweight.
