Background on Regional Dairy Marketing Program
Founded in 1935, the Northeast Dairy Conference was "an association of more than 40 organizations of dairy producers in thirteen states from Maine to West Virginia." Ranging from individual farmers and cooperatives to state-level departments of agriculture and milk control boards," the NDC represented the interests of "hundreds of dairy plants and... thousands of workers," and worked to ensure the success of the "principle agricultural industry in the Northeast."
As "an agency of contact" for the dairy industry, the NDC played a significant role as liaison between farmers and their markets on the one hand, and the state and federal governments on the other. Monitoring and surveying changes in the markets, levels of production and consumption, as well as the worth of "non-fluid" milk, the NDC maintained communication with other regional dairying associations and promoted a variety of programs through its Cooperative Regional Projects.
