Johanns Names Members To National Fluid Milk Processor Promotion Board

WASHINGTON D.C., May 2, 2005

Secretary of Agriculture Mike Johanns today announced the appointment of four incumbents and two new members to the National Fluid Milk Processor Promotion Board.

Re-appointed to serve second terms are: James S. Jaskiewicz, Lakeland, Fla. (Region 5) and Gary L. Aggus, Springfield, Mo. (Region 11).

Re-appointed to serve a first term after filling a vacancy lasting less than 18 months is Joseph Cervantes, Binghamton, N.Y. (Region 2); and Jerry Tidwell, Walnut Creek, Calif. (Region 14).

Newly appointed are: Brian Haugh, Dallas, Texas (Region 8) and Michael A. Krueger, Phoenix, Ariz., (At-Large Processor).

Terms for these appointees begin July 1, 2005, and expire June 30, 2008. All appointees will be seated at the summer board meeting July 21-23, 2005.

The National Fluid Milk Processor Promotion Board is composed of 15 fluid milk processors from 15 geographic regions, and five at-large members. At least three at-large members must be fluid milk processors and at least one must be from the general public. The board was established by the Fluid Milk Promotion Act of 1990 to develop and administer a coordinated program of advertising and promotion to increase the demand for fluid milk products.

The national fluid milk program is financed by a mandatory 20-cent per hundredweight assessment on all fluid milk processed and marketed commercially in consumer-type packages in the contiguous 48 states and the District of Columbia. Processors who commercially process and market 3,000,000 pounds or less per month, excluding those fluid milk products delivered to the residence of a consumer, are exempt from assessments.

USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service monitors the operations of the board. It is USDA's policy that membership on industry governed boards and committees accurately reflect the diversity of individuals served by the programs.
