The WMHA was formed in 1961 by milk haulers who were concerned about their industry. Since that time the association has been successful in their legislative efforts. Following is a short list of what has been accomplished. To view all accomplishments, click the About link above.
Each day over 77 million pounds of raw milk moves from our 10,400 dairy farms to one of our 200 processing plants. Milk Haulers are a key component of our $26.5 billion Wisconsin (WI) dairy industry.
The Wisconsin Milk Haulers Association is not in the business of setting rates for haulers or have anything to do with rates. Competition in America is free enterprise. If an association were to help set rates for it’s members it would be considered anti-trust and fall under the Sherman Anti-Trust Act. Associations are designed to assist members in defining laws and changing laws to improve business operations as well as providing a venue to network and connect with other members and to educate.
