USDA AMS says the One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025 authorizes USDA to conduct dairy product manufacturing cost and related product yield surveys for plants covered by Dairy Product Mandatory Reporting and to publish a biennial report.
Assessments
The promised policy was substantively enacted during Riley's current House term: USDA was authorized in 2025 to conduct dairy processor manufacturing cost and yield surveys and publish biennial reports. Riley also took concrete same-term action by cosponsoring H.R. 295, the Fair Milk Pricing for Farmers Act, which directly matched the promised cost and yield reporting requirement. Even if final enactment occurred through a broader federal bill rather than Riley's standalone route, the outcome and candidate support both align with the promise.
