Representative Peter Welch will announce the creation of the Congressional Dairy Farmers Caucus at a Capitol Hill press conference later this morning. The Caucus will be a bipartisan organization consisting of more than 40 lawmakers from across the nation. The group will seek to confront the growing crisis in the dairy industry, which has been suffering from low milk prices and escalating production costs. Welch is one of the four founding co-chairs of the caucus, will be joined by more than a dozen colleagues, in addition to representatives from the National Milk Producers Federation.
