A Message to Tennessee Dairy Producers and Milk Haulers

In recent weeks, Tennessee dairy producers and milk haulers who previously supplied Dean Foods received letters from ASK, LLP, a law firm representing Southern Foods Group involving Dean Dairy Holdings. The letters sought to reclaim payments made within 90 days prior to the Dean Foods bankruptcy.
With the support of the Tennessee Farm Bureau Federation and other Tennessee dairy partners, we have been working closely with the Tennessee Attorney General’s Office to determine a path to resolution on this issue.
I am pleased to let you know we have received assurances directly from ASK, LLP that it will accept executed declaration statements from Tennessee producers and haulers in the same manner offered to producers in other states, with an eye toward closing matters if supported by the completed declarations.
