§ 62189 Milk Handler Bond Requirements

• •If a company buys milk from farmers, they must give a special promise (bond) to follow the rules.
• •If they don’t give this promise, they’re breaking the law.
• •If they need to give more money for the promise later and don’t do it, that’s also breaking the law.

A dairy company buys milk from local farmers but never gives the required promise (bond) to pay them fairly.

The company is breaking the law because they didn’t do what they were supposed to do—give the promise to follow the rules.
