Frank Konyn’s Insights on California Class I Quotas
This was truly a compromise amendment. Yes, Quota holders were going to receive less income on the pounds of quota that they held, but they were still receiving more income than the class 1 market is generating. Last year, the California Class 1 market only generated...

Stop QIP Asked at Hearings on the Konyn Referendum: Can we trust the process?
MR. GORDON: The number one question that has to be asked about Frank’s proposal is what I brought up in Tulare: Is the QIP legal? And if so, is the process a fair and transparent process? According to the former lead counsel of CDFA Michelle Dias, and we have the video on our web site where she says we did not follow the regulatory process, we did not turn it into the APA, and that is how the QIP is operating today.
I called the APA after that meeting and spoke with an attorney and asked him to look up the regulation called the Quota Implementation Plan. After about 5 minutes he came back and said, how do you spell it. I spelled it and told him where he could find it, in the Food and AG Code Division 21, in Chapter 3.5, Section 62757. He came back and said he checked everything that had to do with dairy and there is not anything called the QIP.
He then asked me why I was calling him. I told him that CDFA was taking $29,000 out of my check every month and handing it over to another dairyman and I get nothing in return. He said they cannot do that, that is impossible. I said, why? He said, that’s an underground regulation and they cannot enforce that. I said, well, they’re taking it. He said, can you prove it? I said, don’t hang up. I’ll fax you my milk statements and I’ll show you they’re taking my money. When he received those he said, I will send you the complaint forms to fill out, send them back and we’ll start the process. I filled them out and sent them.
I received a letter a couple of weeks later and it said, Mr. Gordon, we are not saying you are right or wrong, we just are not going to investigate your complaint. This is the first reason we should not trust the process, CDFA and the AG’s Office…
