§ 57162 Dairy Exchange Complaint Investigations

Key Takeaways

  • •If someone complains about a dairy exchange (like a place where dairy products are bought and sold), the director has to check it out.
  • •The director can hold meetings and ask people involved to write down what they think happened.
  • •The director must also ask the Federal Trade Commission and the U.S. Department of Agriculture for their help and opinions.

Example

A farmer thinks a dairy exchange is treating them unfairly when selling their milk.

The farmer can complain, and the director will look into it. The director might hold a meeting where the farmer and the dairy exchange can share their sides. They’ll also ask the government for help to figure out what’s fair.
