Abstract

The U.S. Court of Appeals on August 24 ruled that Maine's dairy stabilization fund, also known as the vendor's fee, is unconstitutional. The fund was established by the state Legislature in 1991, and is subsidized by a variable surcharge on milk. The fund, which has distributed around $2 million annually to Maine's 600 dairy farms, was challenged by Cumberland Farms of Massachusetts. Details.
