In 1961, the administration of the Dairy Industry Unfair Trade Practices Act of 1957 was transferred from the Department of Business Development to the Agriculture Department. The purpose of the law was to stabilize prices on selected dairy products and to prevent unfair trade practices in marketing those products. It required manufacturers, wholesalers, and distributors of milk and selected dairy products to file schedules of prices at which sales would be made wholesale to retailers and governed unfair trade practices, particularly the under pricing of products.
