State Milk Commission (Board) Convened at 2:00 P.M DRAFT MINUTES Milk Commission Meeting Held February 18, 2021 The meeting of the State Milk Commission (Board) convened at 2:00 p.m. on Thursday, February 18, 2021. The meeting was held by electronic communications means due to the state of emergency issued by Governor Northam as a result of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). The meeting was held using Cisco Webex Events. Mr. Kerr called the meeting to order. PRESENT: Jimmy Kerr, Chairperson, Producer Representative Carolyn Carlson, Consumer Representative Kevin Craun, Producer Representative Jessica Jones, Consumer Representative Brian Linney, Processor Distributor Representative Bruce Mayer, Consumer Representative ABSENT: Rodrigo Velasquez, Consumer Representative STAFF PRESENT: Crafton Wilkes, Administrator Monique Hutton, Auditor Mr. Kerr asked for a motion to accept the minutes from the previous meeting. Mr. Craun requested that a correction to an incorrect date be made and moved to accept the minutes with the correction. Mr. Mayer seconded the motion. The minutes were approved by a unanimous roll call vote. APPROVE: Carlson, Craun, Jones, Kerr, Linney, Mayer OPPOSE: None Mr. Wilkes stated that he intended to keep the meeting brief in order to complete all necessary business on the agenda and avoid any potential issues related to weather interference with internet access. He reviewed retail milk sales, which increased over 2019 by 2.94%. One distributor applied for a Milk Commission license and Mr. Wilkes reviewed findings from the preliminary hearing. Mr. Linney motioned to approve all applicants as licensed distributors, and Mr. Craun seconded the motion. The license was approved by a unanimous roll call vote. APPROVE: Carlson, Craun, Jones, Kerr, Linney, Mayer OPPOSE: None License License Company Distributor Market Action Number Type Representative 359.000.3 NPGD Rainforest Distribution Corp Alexander Ridings All Approve Mr. Wilkes provided two possible scenarios for producer milk base changes. The first was to leave nine-month aggregate milk base at its current state with no percentage increase, but to forgive any milk base that had been placed into escrow previously or was to be placed into escrow in 2021. The net result would be an aggregate milk base increase of approximately 0.55%. This was his recommendation to the board because of his concern that milk sales in 2020 were an abnormality and increasing aggregate milk base in 2021 would mean a more drastic reduction for the subsequent year. The second scenario provided was to adjust milk base by the bare minimum allowable under § 2 VAC 15‐20‐40. This would result in a nine-month aggregate milk base increase of approximately 1.2% to 1.6%. Three-month milk base is determined by formula, and would increase from 90% to 94% of nine-month milk base. Mr. Craun requested an explanation of base placed in escrow. Mr. Wilkes stated that any shortage in milk production compared to allocated milk base to a farm State Milk Commission Draft Minutes: February 18, 2021 Page 2 of 30 is set aside for a one year period, and farms can regain that volume if production returns to a level at least equal to its original allocated milk base. Mr. Linney asked about the impact of increasing milk base. Mr. Michael Myatt, representing Cooperative Milk Producers Association, stated that he favored leaving milk base as-is but forgiving any base in escrow. If milk sales increased consistently in the future he would support an increase in aggregate milk base. Mr. Kerr asked for a motion regarding changes in aggregate milk base. Mr. Craun motioned to leave base at its current level, and Mr. Mayer seconded the motion. The motion was approved by unanimous roll call vote. APPROVE: Carlson, Craun, Jones, Kerr, Linney, Mayer OPPOSE: None Mr. Kerr asked for a motion to forgive any base currently in escrow or to be placed into escrow. Mr. Linney so motioned and Mr. Craun seconded. The motion was approved by unanimous roll call vote. APPROVE: Carlson, Craun, Jones, Kerr, Linney, Mayer OPPOSE: None As a result of the vote, aggregate base allocations are as follows: 2021 Milk Base Allocations effective March 1, 2021 Cooperative 9-Month Cooperative Milk Producers Association 15,215,465 Cumberland Valley Milk Producers Association 257,104 Dairy Farmers of America – Southeast 27,684,717 Dairy Farmers of America – Northeast 400,633 Land O’Lakes, Inc. 448,003 Maryland and Virginia Milk Producers Association 22,581,597 Mount Joy Farmers Cooperative Association 121,889 Lanco-Pennland Quality Milk Producers 2,954,462 TOTAL 69,663,870 Mr. Kerr asked for any public comment, but there was no additional input.

  • FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Borden Dairy Initiates Voluntary
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Media Contact: Adrienne Chance Senior Director of Corporate Communications Borden Ph: (214) 957-5518 E-mail: [email protected] Borden Dairy Initiates Voluntary Reorganization Proceedings The Company will continue operating as normal as it works toward achieving a more viable capital structure and stresses “The Borden Difference” as a competitive advantage DALLAS – Jan. 5, 2020 – Borden, one of America’s favorite dairy companies founded in 1857, today announced that it and certain affiliates (collectively, “Borden” or the “Company”) have initiated voluntary reorganization proceedings in the District of Delaware under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Company intends to use the court process to pursue a financial restructuring designed to reduce its current debt load, maximize value and position the Company for long-term success. Borden plans to continue operating in the ordinary course of business, under the court’s supervision, and remains focused on being the most service-oriented dairy Company that offers delicious and nutritious products consumers love. “Borden is EBITDA-positive and growing, but we must achieve a more viable capital structure,” said Borden CEO Tony Sarsam. “This reorganization will strengthen our position for future prosperity. Over the past 163 years, we have earned the distinction of being one of the most well-recognized and reputable national brands. We remain committed to ‘The Borden Difference,’ which is our promise to be the most service-oriented dairy Company that puts people first. We will continue serving our customers, employees and other stakeholders and operating business as usual throughout this process.” Last year marked several major milestones for the Company, including the revival of Borden’s beloved spokescow Elsie, the brand’s reintroduction in Ohio, and the launch of several innovative products that earned local and national media acclaim, such as State Fair-inspired milk flavors, Gingerbread Eggnog and Kid Builder.

  • Sustainability Science Project: Analyszing Frito Lay Chips
    SUSTAINABILITY SCIENCE PROJECT: ANALYSZING FRITO LAY CHIPS: Kristen Peach, Laura Rose Dailey, Trevor Michalak, Nate Clark Class assignment for Sustainability Science, ENVS 195 University of Vermont, taught by Dr. Saleem H. Ali “At Frito-Lay's factory here, more than 500,000 pounds of potatoes arrive every day from New Mexico to be washed, sliced, fried, seasoned and portioned into bags of Lay's and Ruffles chips. The process devours enormous amounts of energy, and creates vast amounts of wastewater, starch and potato peelings. Now, Frito-Lay is embarking on an ambitious plan to change the way this factory operates, and in the process, create a new type of snack: the environmentally benign chip” (Martin, 2007). Recently, Frito Lay Corporation, mega producer of potato chips and other quintessential American snacks premiered their new “environmentally friendly” bag for their Sun Chip products. While met with mixed reviews from consumers, products such as these eco-friendly bags represent a recent phenomenon in the corporate world. Corporations are responding to consumer’s desires to buy in an environmentally responsible manner, without compromising their current product preferences. American’s want to buy potato chips and want to feel good about it when they do. The recent prevalence of corporate attempts to “green” their products has resulted in a confusing multitude of supposedly eco-friendly products or materials, in reality these products range from semi-green or pseudo eco-friendly, to even more detrimental to the environment than their predecessors. It is imperative to consider a host of factors when assessing the sustainability of these new ‘green washed’ products; including but not limited to, the chemical and physical makeup of the product or material itself, the environmental and social impacts of every step of production and distribution, and an assessment of corporate practices.
