ST. LAWRENCE COUNTY, N.Y. -- Dairy farmers from across the North Country rally for new legislation to help fix the current dairy crisis. They're pushing for approval of the "Federal Milk Marketing Improvement Act of 2009." It calls for an inventory supply management that would stabilize imports so there wouldn't be such extreme highs and lows. The bill would eliminate government aid and subsidy programs and change the way milk is priced, basing it on the national average of the cost to produce milk.

"The ideas in this bill are some of the best ideas to alleviate and fix the problems that we're suffering today in the dairy industry," said Bryan Gotham, Dairy Farmer.

"We want the customer and the marketplace to support us. We don't want to be dependent on government programs all the time to support our businesses," said Stephen Sourwine, Dairy Farmer.

The Progressive Agriculture Organization has already held several of these rallies in New York, Pennsylvania and Iowa, and now they plan to take it to California.
