I've been looking through newspapers and searching the Web for clues
about the New England Dairy Compact. I have an introductory
understanding of what it's meant to do, but I'd like to know what is
currently happening with it. Has it had any impact on milk price? Have
the states appointed their delegates to the Commission?
The New York Times has had harsh words for the Compact, claiming it is an
income transfer from the urban poor to a handful of greedy farmers. Are
there vocal opponents to it within New England?

Many thanks for any help,
