On April 8, 2003, Agriculture Secretary Ann M. Veneman announced that the U.S. Department of Agriculture would provide surplus USDA stocks of non-fat dry milk to livestock producers in areas hardest hit by continuing drought. Veneman said the 2003 Non-fat Dry Milk Livestock Feed Assistance will provide timely relief for livestock producers in areas hit hardest by drought by making available surplus stocks of non-fat dry milk (NDM information), which are not intended for nor destined for human consumption. The stocks will be provided at a minimal cost to several states and tribal governments in areas designated as severely impacted by drought.
