Smith Daniel in Montpelier, VT was a governing entity established to implement the Northeast Dairy Compact, which aimed to restore the authority of the six New England states to set prices for Class 1 fluid milk in the region. The Compact served to ensure an adequate supply of milk, recognize the cultural and economic benefits of a viable dairy industry, and facilitate the states' constitutional rights to regulate milk prices.
The mission of Smith Daniel was to assure the continued viability of dairy farming in the northeast and provide consumers with a local supply of fresh milk. They recognized the importance of dairy farming to the region's economy, rural communities, and landscape, as well as the public interest in regulating milk prices for the benefit of farmers and the overall vitality of the northeast economy.
