Federal milk orders are legal instruments which define the terms under which handlers who engage primarily in the handling of milk for fluid distribution in a regulated city market purchase the milk from dairy farmers. The purpose of these orders is to make sure that an ample supply of wholesome milk is available to consumers at all times. This is done by promoting and maintaining orderly marketing of milking by farmers.
