Federal Milk Order

Market Statistics

1998 Annual Summary
1

PREFACE

 Federal milk marketing orders are established under the authority of the Agricultural Marketing

Agreement Act of 1937, as amended. The Secretary of Agriculture is authorized by this statute,

under certain conditions and with producer approval, to issue milk marketing orders that require

handlers to pay at least the minimum specified prices for milk purchased from producers. The

complete orders are published in the U. S. Code of Federal Regulations, Parts 1000 to 1199.

 This is an annual summary of statistical data published in a bi-monthly report that also is

entitled "Federal Milk Order Market Statistics." These data have been compiled from reports that

handlers (milk processors) are required to file monthly with the market administrators who

administer these orders in the respective markets. These reports show the volume of milk receipts

from each source and quantity of milk used in each form. From these reports, data are compiled

and totaled for each market by the market administrator.

 The data for 1998 are preliminary; those for 1997 are revised. Similar data for the period

from 1947 through 1997 have been published in 41 previous annual summaries.

HOW FEDERAL MILK ORDER MARKET STATISTICS ARE DEVELOPED

AND WHAT THEY MEAN

The statistical data collected under the

Federal milk order program make up

an important segment of the

information needed to administer the

orders. These data also provide

comprehensive information on milk

supplies, utilization, and sales, as

well as prices established under the

various milk orders.

Statistical Bulletin No. 248, "Federal

Milk Order Market Statistics, 1947-

56," and annual compilations

thereafter contain historical data about

Federal milk orders. More current

information is available to the public

through the bi-monthly, "Federal Milk

Order Market Statistics". 

WHAT IS A FEDERAL MILK

MARKETING ORDER?

A Federal milk marketing order is a

regulation issued by the Secretary of

Agriculture. Its purpose is to stabilize

markets by placing certain

requirements on the handling of milk

in the area it covers. It is established

under the authority of the Agricultural

Marketing Agreement Act of 1937, as

amended. It requires milk handlers in

a marketing area to pay not less than

certain minimum class prices

established according to how the milk

is utilized. These prices are

established under the order after a

public hearing at which evidence is

received on the supply and demand

conditions for milk in the market. A

milk order, including the pricing

provisions and all other provisions,

becomes effective only after approval

by dairy farmers. It requires that

payments for milk be pooled and paid

to individual farmers or cooperative

associations of farmers on the basis of

a uniform or average price.

WHY ARE FIGURES

COLLECTED?

So that a determination can be made

as to the amount of milk that handlers

use in each price class, handlers are

required to file monthly reports

showing their receipts of milk from

each source and the quantity used or

disposed of in each form. Receipts of

milk directly from farms and receipts

from other plants are reported

separately. All major fluid milk

products and manufactured milk

products are listed on the report form,

and handlers are required to specify

the volume and butterfat content of all

milk used in each product. From these

reports, data are compiled and totaled

for each market.

On the basis of these reports, the

market administrator makes

preliminary computations of each

handler's obligation and calculates the

minimum price the handler must pay

producers. The market administrator

is the Federal official in each market
8

who, with the assistance of a staff,

administers the terms of the Federal

orders.

ARE FIGURES VERIFIED?

Following the receipt of reports from

handlers and the computation of the

preliminary statement of handlers'

obligations, the market administrator

sends auditors to handlers' plants,

where they examine books and records

of plant operations to determine

whether milk actually was used as

reported and whether required

payments were made to producers. 

Thus, reported data are subject to

audit.

Since Federal milk order statistics are

developed from complete records of

the quantities of milk priced under

Federal orders rather than sample

data, they provide reliable market

information. In using these data,

however, it is important to understand

the character of fluid milk markets,

the scope of data collected and

reported under Federal orders, and

certain limitations in the use of the

data.

FEDERAL MILK ORDER TERMS

MARKETING AREA

A marketing area is a designated

trading area within which the handling

of milk is regulated by the Federal

order. Generally, the size of the

marketing area is determined by the

sales territory of competing handlers.

PRODUCER

A producer is usually any dairy farmer

who sells milk to a pool handler. 

Producers must not be producerhandlers; they must produce milk in

compliance with grade A or similar

inspection requirements, and their

milk must be either received at a pool

plant or diverted to a nonpool plant for

the account of a pool handler.

HANDLER

A handler is a person or business

entity, either a milk processor or a

milk distributor, who is subject to the

provisions of the order. Under most

orders, a handler is any milk dealer

whose plant is approved by a duly

constituted health authority and who

disposes of grade A fluid milk

products in the marketing area.
9

Handlers include persons who sell

milk to other milk dealers as well as

persons who sell milk to consumers

and retailers.

Federal milk orders provide for three

general types of handlers. A

description of each type follows:

Operators of pool plants (pool handler)

Operators of pool plants must meet

minimum performance standards

included in each order and are subject

in full to the provisions of an order. 

There are three types of pool plants--

distributing plants, supply plants, and

cooperative association plants.

Operators of nonpool plants

Nonpool plants are those from which

fluid milk products are disposed of in

the marketing area or distributed to

pool plants but which do not meet

requirements for pooling. There are

four types of nonpool plants--other

order plants, producer-handler plants,

partially regulated distributing plants,

and unregulated supply plants.

Cooperative associations

Cooperatives that operate pool plants

qualify as handlers. Also, a

cooperative may have pool handler

status under most Federal milk

marketing orders if it either diverts

producer milk or delivers its members'

bulk tank milk directly to pool plants.

CLASSES OF MILK

Classes of milk utilization are defined 

in each Federal order. All orders

provide for three classes. In general,

milk disposed of by a handler as whole

milk, lowfat milk, or skim milk is

classified as class I. If milk is

disposed of as fluid cream or used in

soft manufactured products such as

cottage cheese and frozen desserts, it

is class II; and if it is disposed of in

hard manufactured products such as

cheese, butter, and milk products in

dry form, this milk is class III. Some

orders provide for a fourth class of

milk utilization--class III-A. Class

III-A includes producer milk used to

produce nonfat dry milk. (For

complete information on Federal milk

order provisions, see U.S. Code of

Federal Regulations, Title 7, Parts

1000 to 1199.) 

WHAT IS INCLUDED IN

RECEIPTS, SALES, AND PRICES?

RECEIPTS

Federal milk order statistics include

volumes of milk received by handlers

regulated under each of the Federal

orders. The volume of milk, reported

as received by handlers from

producers, includes all such milk

regardless of where it may be sold. 

Milk identified as that received from

producers for a given market may

come directly from nearby producers

or from producers associated with a

supply plant which, although located
10

several hundred miles from the

marketing area, is pooled in the

market.

Class I producer milk is the milk

delivered by producers for which

handlers were required to pay the

minimum class I price established by

the orders. Total (or gross) class I

milk includes any milk from sources

other than producers that is assigned to

class I.

SALES

In Federal milk order market

statistics, an important distinction is

made between sales of fluid milk

products in a marketing area and

dispositions of fluid milk and cream

products by handlers regulated in a

market. The latter are total

dispositions by handlers fully regulated

under an order. Dispositions both

inside and outside the defined

marketing area of that order are

included. Besides receipts from

producers, these dispositions also may

include receipts from other Federal

order plants and/or receipts from other

sources.

On the other hand, "in-the-marketingarea" fluid milk sales (whole milk

items and lowfat and skim milk items)

represent sales in each of the 

marketing areas by handlers regulated

under the respective order, by handlers

regulated under other Federal orders,

by partially regulated handlers, and by

producer-handlers. These data are

useful in appraising trends in the sales

of fluid milk products and in the per

capita consumption of fluid milk

products in the Federal order

marketing area.

Order amendments may change

marketing areas. In these instances,

"in-the-marketing-area" sales may be

estimated for partial-year periods to 

permit accurate year-to-year

comparisons of sales data.

PRICES

All prices reported for Federal milk

order markets are the minimum prices

required to be paid under order terms. 

Handlers may pay prices in excess of

these minimum amounts. Any such

payments in excess of Federal order

prices are in no way enforced by

Federal milk orders and are not

reported in Federal milk order

statistics.
11

Class I prices

In all markets, the class I price is

based on the Basic Formula Price. To

this price is added a fixed differential

stated in the order.

Manufacturing class prices

Prices for producer milk used in

classes other than class I for the most

part are related to the Basic Formula 

Price. Class II prices are determined

by adding a $.30 differential to the

Basic Formula Price. For most

orders, the class III price is the Basic

Formula Price. In those orders that

provide for class III-A, a product price

formula is used to set the price. 

Uniform (blend) prices

In Federal order markets, minimum

prices required to be paid to producers

are termed uniform or "blend" prices. 

In markets where marketwide pools

are used, the blend price is the

weighted average of all class values of

milk used by all handlers, and all

producers must be paid at least this

average price per hundredweight,

subject to butterfat and location

adjustments. For orders that provide

for individual handler pools, the blend

price reported in statistics for each

market is a weighted average of all

such individual handler's blend prices. 

In markets where producer prices were

established in terms of a base price

and an excess price, the blend price

reported represented the weighted

average of base and excess payments. 

In 13 orders, producer prices are based

on the value of the components in the

milk that they market. These

components include butterfat, as well

as solids not fat, or protein, or protein

and other solids. In these orders, the

price received by producers is

dependent on the weighted average

differential or producer price

differential, the price per pound for

butterfat, and either the price per

pound for solids not fat, protein, or

protein and other solids. Some orders

also adjust for the somatic cell count

in the milk.

Location adjustments (differentials)

The class I price announced by the

market administrator is subject to

adjustment, depending on the location

of the plant. Nearly all orders provide

for a downward adjustment of prices at

plants that are distant from the major

consuming centers. This reflects the

cost of hauling milk to the city. 

Generally, class I prices are

progressively lower with increasing

distance from the basing point (usually

the major city in the marketing area).

Blend prices and base prices paid to

producers are subject to adjustment,

depending on the location of the plant

where producers ship their milk. The

adjustment is the same as the location

adjustments applied to the class I

price.
12

Butterfat differentials

Most Federal order prices are quoted

on a 3.5-percent butterfat basis. To

adjust prices for a higher or lower

butterfat content, a butterfat

differential is used. The butterfat

differential is the amount by which the

applicable price is increased or

decreased for each one-tenth of 

1 percent that the butterfat content of

the milk is above or below 3.5 percent. 

The butterfat differential does not

represent the value of butterfat, but

reflects the difference between the

values of 0.1 pound of butterfat and

0.1 pound of skim milk.

COMPARABILITY OF STATISTICS

To ensure that certain changes in the

statistics for Federal milk order

 markets can be measured comparably,

they are summarized to show data for

a group of markets that have been in

continuous regulation from January 1

of one year through December 31 of 

the following year, and for which the

data have not been affected

significantly by marketing area

changes. This group of markets is

called “comparable markets”.

However, for a particular market, the

comparability of data (producer

receipts, class I utilization, milk

disposed of in fluid milk and cream

products and in manufactured products)

can be affected by changes in order

provisions other than marketing area

changes. These may include changes

in classification, pricing, handler

definitions, and the like. Also,

noticeable differences can occur

because of changes in marketing

practices that result in changes in the

number of producers or plants

associated with the particular Federal

order market concerned.

SUMMARY OF FEDERAL MILK ORDER OPERATIONS DURING 1998

During 1998, there were 31 Federal milk

order marketing areas. The data for

Carolina, Southeast, LouisvilleLexington-Evansville, Iowa, Eastern

South Dakota, and Greater Kansas City,

were affected by marketing area changes

and confidentiality restrictions. As a

result, there were 25 marketing areas for

which most of the data were comparable

over the entire two year period.

About three-quarters of the total U.S.

population resides in Federal milk order

marketing areas. See the map on page

128 for the location of these marketing

areas. There were 523 handlers

regulated under Federal milk orders in

1998--47 less than in 1997. These

regulated handlers operated 326 

distributing plants (fluid milk processing

plants) and 157 supply plants

(manufacturing plants).

During 1998, an average of 72,373 dairy

farmers delivered 99.2 billion pounds of

milk to handlers regulated under Federal

milk orders. This volume of milk

accounted for 64 percent of all the milk

marketed in the United States and 66

percent of the milk of beverage quality

(grade A) sold in the country.1/ The

value of this milk delivered to Federal

milk order handlers at minimum order

blend prices was $14.2 billion, 1.5

percent lower than the value in 1997. 

Producer deliveries of milk used in class I

products (mainly fluid milk products)

totaled 45.0 billion pounds. Class I

utilization averaged 45.3 percent of total

producer deliveries.

During nearly all of 1998, minimum

prices under Federal milk orders were

above those of 1997. Class I prices

averaged $16.14 per hundredweight,

12.4 percent ($1.78) lower than prices in

1997. Among the individual marketing

areas, these annual averages varied from

a low of $14.82 in the Upper Midwest to

a high of $17.41 in Tampa Bay. 

Minimum class II yearly average prices

ranged from $13.84 to $13.92, class III

prices ranged from $14.20 to $14.29, and

class III-A prices ranged from $14.85 to

$14.94. Minimum order blend prices

averaged $14.92 per hundredweight in

1997, $1.82 less than in 1997. During

the year, these blend prices ranged from

$13.07 in May to $17.63 in December.

Sales of fluid milk products in Federal

milk order marketing areas during 1998

totaled 43.2 billion pounds (5.0 billion

gallons). On a comparable market

adjusted daily average basis, these sales

were down 0.3 percent from 1997 sales

figure. Sales of whole milk and fatreduced milk products in these marketing

areas represent about three-quarters of

total U.S. consumption of these products. 

By product grouping, both sales of whole

milk products and sales of fat-reduced

milk products decreased 0.3 percent. 
14

During 1998, handlers regulated under 

Federal milk orders utilized about 51.9

billion pounds of milk, skim milk, and

cream in various manufactured products,

10.8 percent below 1997 levels.1/ This

volume--about 71 percent of the total milk

equivalent used to produce manufactured

products in the United States--was either

processed in their own regulated plants,

or transferred or diverted to unregulated

nonpool plants for processing. On a

whole-milk-equivalent basis, 50 percent

of this volume was used in the production

of cheese, 21 percent in butter-powder

production, 19 percent in the production

of frozen desserts (mainly ice cream),and

about 10 percent in other products.

 

 1/ During 1998, regulated handlers

elected not to pool about 16.0 billion

pounds of milk that normally would have

been marketed under Federal milk

orders. This election was most often

made because the blend price at the

pricing zone of the handler's plant was

equal to or less than the class II price,

Class III price, or Class III-A price. If

this milk had been pooled, the

proportions of total U.S. milk marketings

processed by regulated handlers would

have been higher. In addition, since most

of this milk would have been assigned to

class III, the reported volumes used to

produce class III (manufactured) milk

products would also have been higher.

 *Data not available. 1/ End of year. (Date on which pricing provisions became effective.) 2/ End of year. 1955, 1960-70, 1980, and 1990 according to 1950, 1960, 1980, and 1990 U.S.

census, respectively. 1975-1979, 1981-1989, and 1991 to date are estimated. 3/ Average for year. 4/ Prices are simple averages for 1947-60 and weighted averages for 1965 to date. 5/ Due to

disadvantageous price situations in some markets, handlers elected not to pool an estimated 16.0 billion and 8.4 billion pounds, respectively, that normally would have been pooled under these

orders. These price situations occur when the blend price adjusted for location is equal to or less than the Class II, Class III, or Class III-A price. In these situations, handlers may elect not to

pool milk that normally would have been associated with the order. Handlers also may elect not to pool milk when it is more advantageous to associate the milk with a State milk order or when the

Class III price is too high relative to the pricing programs used to pay dairy farmers.

FOOTNOTES FOR TABLES 6 THROUGH 24.

 * Due to disadvantageous price situations in this market during this month, handlers elected

not to pool milk that normally would have been associated with this order. See 7/.

 ** Less than 50,000 pounds.

 1/ Effective October 1, 1997, the order regulating the marketing area was terminated. 

Figures for 1997 are for January-September.

 2/ Data are a summation or weighted average of the Tampa Bay, Upper Florida, and

Southeastern Florida marketing areas. The data are combined in order to mask the data for

Upper Florida, which are restricted.

 3/ Figures are based on the same group of comparable markets--markets where the orders

were in effect the entire period, January 1, 1997-December 31, 1998, and for which the data

were not affected significantly by marketing area changes; excludes Tennessee Valley,

Carolina, Southeast, Louisville-Lexington-Evansville, Iowa, and the Greater Kansas CityEastern South Dakota areas, where applicable. See 1/, and 8/. 

 4/ The data for Greater Kansas City and Eastern South Dakota have been combined in order

to mask restricted data.

 5/ The data for Eastern Colorado and Western Colorado have been combined in order to

mask restricted data.

 6/ The comparable and all-market totals have been reduced to thousand producers. 

 7/ Due to disadvantageous price situations in this market during this month, handlers elected

not to pool milk that normally would have been associated with this order. These price

situations occur when the blend price adjusted for location is equal to or less than the Class II,

III, or III-A price. Handlers also may elect not to pool milk when it is more advantageous to

associate the milk with a State milk order or when the Class III price is too high relative to the

pricing programs used to pay dairy farmers. The majority of this milk would have been pooled

in the Chicago Regional and Upper Midwest orders. The total estimated amounts not pooled

for this reason are 16.0 billion and 8.6 billion pounds in 1998 and 1997, respectively.

 8/ Class I and Class II receipts and utilization data for the Greater Kansas City-Eastern South

Dakota marketing area are restricted, effective October 1996, and were restricted for the Iowa

area from August through October 1997. These data are excluded from individual market and

all market figures, where applicable.

 9/ Regional, 25-market, and all-market averages are weighted.

10/ All averages are weighted.

11/ Producer deliveries of milk used in Class III and Class III-A combined for 1997 and 1998

can be determined by subtracting from total producer deliveries as shown on tables 11 and 12,

respectively, the appropriate figures on tables 15 and 16, respectively, and this table.

12/ To determine combined Class III-Class III-A utilization, subtract from 100 percent the

appropriate figures on tables 17 and 18, respectively, and this table.

13/ The marketing areas shown are the marketing areas for which the data is available and

unrestricted.

14/ The marketing areas included in this region are shown on table 6 under the North Atlantic 

and Southeastern regions; excluding the Florida markets (see 2/).

15/ The marketing areas included in this region are shown on table 6 under the East North

Central and West North Central regions; excluding Central Illinois, Southern Illinois-Eastern

Missouri, Greater Kansas City, and Eastern South Dakota.

16/ The marketing areas included in this region are shown on table 6 under the West South

Central, Mountain, and Pacific regions; excluding Eastern Colorado, Western Colorado, and

Great Basin.

 1/ The differential for each one-tenth of 1 percent that the milk delivered by producers varies

from 3.5 percent in orders which contain a blend (producer) butterfat differential provision.

 2/ Prices are for 100 pounds of milk of 3.5 percent butterfat content and for the major city in

the marketing areas. See footnotes on pages 68 and 69 for location at which price is reported

for 1997 and 1998. All averages are weighted. 

 3/ For those markets which have multiple component pricing (see tables 33 and 34), the prices

represent the Basic Formula Price plus the weighted average differential price or producer price

differential computed under the order.

 4/ Effective October 1, 1997, the order regulating the marketing area was terminated. 

Annual averages or totals for 1997 are for January-September.

 5/ Figures are based on the same group of comparable markets--markets where the orders

were in effect the entire period, January 1, 1997-December 31, 1998, and for which the data

were not affected significantly by marketing area changes. Excludes Tennessee Valley,

Carolina, Southeast and Louisville-Lexington-Evansville, where applicable. The termination of

the Tennessee Valley order affected significantly the comparability of the data for these

neighboring marketing areas. Figures also excludes Iowa and Greater Kansas City, where

applicable. See 7/ and 8/. 

 6/ Figures exclude, where applicable, Upper Florida, Southeastern Florida, Eastern South

Dakota, and Western Colorado; some of the data used to weight the monthly prices were

restricted.

 7/ The Class l price for 1997 does not include data for August through October. The Class I

receipts and utilization data were restricted for those months. These data are excluded from allmarket figures, where applicable.

 8/ The data used to weight the monthly prices were restricted. These data are excluded from

all-market figures, where applicable.

 9/ Prices are for 100 pounds of milk of 3.5 percent butterfat content. Prices are not subject to

location adjustment, except as noted. Markets with the same monthly prices are included in the

same marketing area group. The price for milk delivered to the Philadelphia area under the

Middle Atlantic order is 6 cents more. The price for milk delivered to the Detroit area under

the Southern Michigan order is 10 cents more.

10/ Prices are for the New York metropolitan area (1-25 mile freight zone). Prices at other

points are lower; price at 201-210 mile freight zone is 8 cents less. 

11/ This marketing area group consists of all marketing areas not included in the marketing

area groups listed above it. 

12/ This marketing area group consists of the Pacific Northwest, Central Arizona, and

Southwestern Idaho-Eastern Oregon marketing areas.

13/ This marketing area group consists of Carolina, Southeast, Michigan Upper Peninsula,

Southern Michigan, Eastern Ohio-Western Pennsylvania, Ohio Valley, Indiana, Chicago

Regional, Louisville-Lexington-Evansville, Upper Midwest, Iowa, Nebraska-Western Iowa,

Tennessee Valley, Southwest Plains, Texas, and New Mexico-West Texas.

15/ The order for this marketing area requires that producers be paid on the basis of the

weighted average differential price, the price per pound for butterfat, and the price per pound

for nonfat milk solids.

16/ The order for this marketing area requires that producers be paid on the basis of the

producer price differential, the price per pound for butterfat, the price per pound for protein,

and the fluid carrier price.

17/ The order for this marketing area requires that producers be paid on the basis of the

weighted average differential price, the price per pound for butterfat, and the price per pound

for protein.

18/ The order for this marketing area requires that producers be paid on the basis of the

producer price differential, the price per pound for butterfat, the price per pound for protein,

the price per pound for other solids, and the level of somatic cells in the milk.

19/ In January 1997, the order regulating this marketing area required that producers be paid

on the basis of the weighted average differential price, the price per pound for butterfat, and

the price per pound for nonfat milk solids. Effective February 1, 1997, the order was amended

to require that producers be paid on the basis of the producer price differential, the price per

pound for butterfat, the price per pound for protein, and the price per pound for other nonfat

solids.

20/ The test data for this market were restricted.

FOOTNOTES FOR TABLE 35

 1/ “Dairy Market News,” AMS. 

 2/ The National Cheese Exchange was discontinued effective April 25, 1997. Effective with

the May 1997 Basic Formula Price, the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) price

survey is used in the Basic Formula Price determination. See 3/.

 3/ A monthly average price is determined by AMS by volume weighing the weekly prices.

 4/ The production in the States of Minnesota and Wisconsin combined for the prior month as

first published in “Dairy Products,” NASS.

 5/ The price paid to producers for manufacturing grade milk by plants in Minnesota and

Wisconsin for the prior month as surveyed by NASS.

 6/ Effective June 26, 1998, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange discontinued trading on Grade

A butter. The Secretary of Agriculture has determined that the Chicago Mercantile Exchange

Grade AA butter price less nine cents is equivalent to the discontinued Grade A price, effective

June 26.

 7/ The applicable base month is the month prior to the month for which the Basic Formula

Price (BFP) is announced.

 8/ The change in the gross value of milk between the base month and the BFP month as

determined by using various product prices, yield factors, and weighting by American cheese

and nonfat dry milk production in Minnesota and Wisconsin.

 9/ The BFP is the applicable base month price at 3.5% updated by the change in the product

price formula. The BFP establishes minimum prices under all Federal milk orders.

10/ This price is determined by adjusting the applicable base month price at test by the change

in the product price formula.

11/ This price is determined by adjusting the BFP at 3.5% to the BFP at estimated butterfat

using the current month butterfat differential. This price is used to determine the other solids

price in Federal orders that use component pricing.

12/ The differential is determined by the following formula: (.138 X Chicago Mercantile

Exchange Grade A butter price) - (.0028 X Basic Formula Price at test for determining the

butterfat differential).

13/ The Class III-A pricing provision is currently in effect in 21 marketing areas. See tables

27 and 28. 

14/ This price series is used in the computation of the Class III-A Prices in all but 3 of the 21

affected marketing areas. See 13/.

15/ This price is determined by AMS from combining price series published in “Dairy Market

News.”

16/ This price series is used in the computation of the Class III-A Prices in the western

marketing areas. See 13/.

17/ 9 less (0.4 divided by the applicable nonfat dry milk price).

18/ (Butterfat differential times 35) plus (applicable nonfat dry milk price less 12.5 cents) times

(the applicable modified yield factor).

19/ See tables 29 and 30 and related footnotes to find the marketing areas that use this Class

III-A price series.

20/ New England, New York-New Jersey, and Middle Atlantic also use a seasonal adjustment

in the computation of Class III-A prices.

terminated.

the orders were in effect the entire period, January 1, 1997-December 31,

changes; excludes Tennessee Valley; see 3/.

milk, buttermilk, flavored milk drinks, and small amounts of miscellaneous

fat-reduced milk products.

milk and fat-reduced milk products.

shown for individual markets. Totals may not add due to rounding. 

12/ Includes all Federal milk order markets in effect as of December 31,

1998, except New York-New Jersey.
