Authorizes the Board to develop innovative programs for the disposition of dairy products and to make recommendations to the Secretary of Agriculture regarding details of the operation of the price support program. Sets forth methods of deriving funding for producer responsibility of program operations. Sets forth the duties of the Secretary under the price support program with respect to relations with the Board and responsibility for collection and payment of the funds under such program.
