It’s been about a year since the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Dairy Store in Filley Hall within the Food Industry Complex, which includes the old Dairy Industry building, moved from its location on the south side of the building to the north side of the complex, facing East Campus Union.
This new space offers a renovated seating area and store operations, along with a view of Legacy Plaza and Dinsdale Family Learning Commons, formerly C.Y. Thompson Library.
The new location hosted a grand reopening on March 10, 2020, the day before COVID-19 temporarily closed campus. The Dairy Store first opened as Varsity Dairy in 1917 and served all-you-can-drink milk for a nickel to anyone who brought their own glass and provided dairy products for UNL dormitories.
Dairy farmer groups propose Class III Plus for better milk pricing Four US Midwestern dairy groups have announced a Federal Milk Marketing Orders (FMMO) proposal aimed at creating long-term stability in fluid milk pricing and reducing the likelihood of negative producer price differentials that cut into farmers’ revenue last year during the pandemic.
The proposal from the Dairy Business Association (DBA), Edge Dairy Farmer Cooperative, Minnesota Milk and Nebraska State Dairy Association comes after the groups began studying options early this year. They said the proposal, Class III Plus, aims to build on the current pricing system, recent proposals by dairy cooperatives, and dairy farmer petitions to define a better Class I pricing system.

The proposal from the Dairy Business Association (DBA), Edge Dairy Farmer Cooperative, Minnesota Milk, and Nebraska State Dairy Association comes after they took a look at options early this year. They said the proposal, which is deemed âClass III Plus,â aims to build off of the pricing system currently in place, proposals by dairy cooperatives, and dairy farmer petitions to figure out a better Class I pricing system. âOur proposal looks to the future. It would make lasting changes to the milk pricing system that will limit negative PPDs (Producer Price Differential) in the future and the possible negative effects from future crises,â DBA President Amy Penterman said.
