 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 monthly Federal milk order statistical data. These data have been compiled from 

reports that handlers (milk processors) are required to file monthly with the market administrator who administers the 

respective Federal milk order. 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 order by the market administrator. The 

order summary report is submitted to the Market Information Branch in Dairy Programs and is combined with the 

summary reports for the other orders. 

 The data in this summary is for 2006. Similar data for the period from 1947 through 2005 have been published in 49 

previous annual summaries.

HOW FEDERAL MILK ORDER STATISTICS ARE DEVELOPED 

Introduction. 

The statistical data generated through the administration of the Federal milk order program is recognized 

widely as one of the benefits of this program. These data provide comprehensive and accurate information 

on milk supplies, utilization, and sales, as well as class prices established under the orders and prices paid 

to dairy farmers (producers). The sources of this data are monthly reports that are required to be filed by 

milk processors (handlers) subject to the provisions of the various milk orders. The local market 

administrator uses these reports to administer the provisions of the order and to assemble a series of 

statistical reports that summarize individual handler operations for the order, which are submitted to the 

Market Information Branch in Dairy Programs in the Agricultural Marketing Service. 

Why Are Figures Collected? 

Each month, regulated handlers (fluid milk processors subject to the provisions of a Federal milk order) are 

required to file a report of milk receipts and utilization (R & U Report) with the order’s market 

administrator (MA). The MA is the Federal official in each market who, with the assistance of a staff, 

administers the terms of the Federal order. The R & U report shows, for the month, the quantities of milk 

and milk products received at the handler’s plant from each source, either directly from farms or from other 

plants, and how this milk was used in the plant. 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, 

and in some cases, other milk components, of all milk used in each product. On the basis of these reports, 

the MA determines the amount of milk that handlers use in each price class, makes computations of each 

handler’s pool obligation, and calculates the minimum price the handler must pay producers. The MA also 

receives producer payroll reports from regulated handlers which are used to verify proper payments to 

producers and reports from nonpool handlers which are used to determine regulatory status. 

Are Reported Figures Verified? 

The local market administrator maintains a staff of highly-trained auditors who, on a monthly basis, review 

at each handler’s location, the books and records of plant operations for a previous time period. The 

auditors examine these records to determine whether the milk actually was received and used as reported, 

and therefore, whether the handler’s pool obligation was computed correctly. Reporting errors are 

corrected; if necessary, pool obligations are revised. Auditors also determine whether required payments 

were made to producers. As a result, all data reported by handlers is subject to audit. 

How Are Summary Statistics Developed? 

After the handler pool obligations have been determined, the local market administrator generates a series 

of reports that compiles order totals from the individual handler reports and submits these to the Market 

Information Branch (MIB) in the Dairy Programs headquarters office. The MIB compiles program-wide 

totals from the individual order reports and disseminates this information in a series of monthly and annual 

releases on the Internet, in the weekly “Dairy Market News Report,” and in its own publications. Since 

milk marketing order statistics are based on reports filed by the population of possible reporting firms and 

not a sample, these statistics are comprehensive. Also, since the individual firm reports are subject to audit 

and verification, these statistics are accurate and reliable. Federal milk orders use terms that are 

specifically defined in order provisions. It is recommended that users of Federal milk order statistics 

become familiar with these terms, some of which are described beginning on page 6 of this publication.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF FEDERAL MILK ORDER TERMS 

Following is a brief description of some terms used in Federal milk order statistics. For a detailed 

description of Federal milk order terms, see the specific order provisions in the Code of Federal 

Regulations. 

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. 

Marketing Area. 

A marketing area is an area designated in a Federal milk order’s provisions within which the handling of 

milk is regulated by the order. Generally, the size of the marketing area is determined by the sales territory 

of competing handlers. The recent consolidation of orders also looked at overlapping areas of milk supply, 

the number of handlers within the area, natural boundaries, cooperative association service areas, common 

regulatory provisions, and milk utilization in common dairy products. 

Producer. 

A producer is usually any dairy farmer who sells milk to a pool handler. Producers must produce milk in 

compliance with Grade A 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. Producer-handlers are not producers. 

Handler.

A handler is a person--an individual, partnership, corporation, association, or other business unit, that is 

subject to the provisions of an order. A handler can be an operator of a plant that is approved by a duly 

constituted regulatory agency for the handling of Grade A milk. A handler also can be a milk distributor or 

a broker. A cooperative association that does not operate a plant can be a handler. 

 Pool Handler.

 A pool handler is a handler that is subject in full to the provisions of the order, A pool handler can be 

 an operator of a plant that meets the minimum performance standards included in each order, a pool 

 plant. Such plants include distributing plants, plants primarily engaged in processing packaged fluid 

 milk products, and supply plants, plants primarily engaged in producing manufactured dairy products. 

 A cooperative association that does not operate a plant can be a pool handler. A milk distributor or 

 broker cannot be a pool handler. 

 Nonpool Handler.

 A nonpool handler is an operator of a plant that, while it receives, processes, or distributes milk in the 

 marketing area, does not meet the minimum performance standards of the order, a nonpool plant. 

 Nonpool plants include: a plant fully regulated under another Federal order; a producer-handler plant, 

 generally a person that operates both a dairy farm and a distributing plant; a partially regulated 

 distributing plant; an unregulated supply plant; or, an exempt plant, a plant operated by a governmental 
7

 agency or a duly accredited college or university, for charitable purposes, or from which less than 

 150,000 pounds per month are distributed. Some nonpool handlers file monthly reports with the local 

 market administer that basically are used to determine regulatory status, but also provide some market 

 statistics. 

Receipts of Milk. 

Federal milk order statistics include volumes of milk received by handlers regulated under each of the 

Federal orders. Receipts of milk principally come from producers, but also may include other sources. The 

volume of milk that is 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 

several hundred miles from the marketing area, is pooled on the market. Producer milk also may include 

milk that is diverted by a pool plant operator to another pool plant or to a nonpool plant. Other source 

receipts can include milk and dairy products transferred or diverted from plants regulated under other 

Federal orders or received from unregulated sources such as unregulated supply plants or producerhandlers. 

Classes of Milk.

There are four classes of milk utilization defined in Federal orders. Class I use is milk disposed as a fluid 

milk product, milk products intended to be used as a beverage. Class I uses include plain and flavored 

whole milk, fat reduced milks, and eggnog. Class II use includes milk used to produce fluid cream and 

other cream products, cottage cheese, frozen desserts, and other food products. Class III use includes milk 

used to produce hard cheeses and cream cheese. Class IV includes milk used to produce butter and any 

milk product in dried form. 

Pricing System.

The Federal milk order program uses product price formulas to determine milk component values which 

are combined to calculate monthly class prices. See page 45 for the applicable class price formulas. The 

factors in the formulas are dairy product prices, which change monthly, and make allowances and product 

yields, which are set in the formulas. The dairy product prices are those collected weekly by the National 

Agricultural Statistics Service in USDA. The most recent four or five weeks of prices are weighted by the 

applicable weekly volumes to determine a monthly average. Butter, Cheddar cheese and dry whey prices 

are used to compute values for butterfat, protein, and other solids, respectively. The protein and other 

solids prices are used to calculate the Class III skim milk price which, combined with the butterfat price, 

determines the Class III milk price. Butter and nonfat dry milk prices are used to compute values for 

butterfat and nonfat solids, respectively. The nonfat solids price is used to calculate the Class IV skim milk 

price which, combined with the butterfat price, determines the Class IV milk price. The Class II price is 

determined by the Class II skim milk price, which is computed in advance (see Class I price description 

below), and the Class II butterfat price, the butterfat price plus $0.007. The Class II, III, and IV prices are 

the same in each Federal milk order and are announced by the 5th of the following month. 

Class I prices vary across the Federal milk order system and are announced in advance by the 23rd of the 

preceding month. The Class I skim milk price is the higher of the advanced Class III or IV skim milk 

pricing factors plus a differential specific to each pricing point in the country. The Class I butterfat price is 

the advanced butterfat pricing factor plus the specific Class I differential divided by 100. The advanced 

skim milk pricing factors use the same product price formulas as the Class III and IV prices except that the 

product prices are for the most recent two weeks. The Class II skim milk price is the Class IV advanced 

skim milk pricing factor plus a differential of $0.70 and also is announced by the 23rd of the preceding 

month. 
8

Producer Prices.

The Federal milk order program has two systems for paying producers, the component pricing system and 

the skim milk/butterfat pricing system. In the component pricing system, which is used in seven orders, 

producer prices are based on the value of components, butterfat, protein, and other solids, in the milk they 

market and the value of the producer price differential. The component values are those computed for the 

Class III price. The producer price differential, basically, is the weighted average value of the effective 

Class I and II differentials; the weights being the proportional volumes of milk used in Class I and II. 

Producers receive a price for each pound of milk component marketed and the producer price differential 

for each hundredweight of milk marketed. In four of the seven orders, producer prices are adjusted for milk 

quality as measured by the somatic cell count of the milk. For informational purposes, a statistical uniform 

price is calculated which equals the Class III price plus the producer price differential. 

In the skim milk/butterfat pricing system, which is used in four orders, producer prices are based on the 

uniform skim milk price and the uniform butterfat price. The uniform skim milk and butterfat prices are 

the weighted average values of each class’s skim milk and butterfat prices. The weights are the volumes of 

skim milk and butterfat used in each class. Producers receive the uniform skim milk price for each 

hundredweight of skim milk marketed and the uniform butterfat price for each pound of butterfat marketed. 

The uniform milk price under this pricing system is the weighted average value of the uniform skim milk 

and butterfat prices in 3.5% butterfat content milk. 

Sales of Fluid Milk Products.

In Federal milk order market statistics, an important distinction is made between sales of packaged fluid 

milk products in a marketing area (in-area) and packaged disposition of Class I products by handlers 

regulated in a market. The latter are total dispositions under an order by fully regulated handlers only. 

Dispositions can occur both inside and outside the defined marketing area of that order and can include 

both route sales and transfers to nonpool or unregulated handlers. A route sale is a delivery to a retail or 

wholesale outlet (except a plant), either directly or through a distribution facility. A transfer is a sale 

(delivery) to another plant. Besides receipts from producers, these dispositions also may include receipts 

from other Federal order plants and/or receipts from other sources. 

In-area sales includes route sales in each of the marketing areas from all sources; handlers regulated under 

the respective order, handlers regulated under other Federal orders, partially regulated handlers, exempt 

handlers, and 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.

Figures for following time periods are estimated based on other Census Bureau reports. 1972-79, 1981-99, and 2001 to date. 3/ Average for year. 4/ Beginning in 1988 , due todisadvantageous price situations in some markets, handlers elected not to pool milk that normally would have been associated with the order. This has reduced, sometimessubstantially, the volume of producer milk receipts reported for some markets. This can also affect significantly the comparability of other "Measures of Growth" based on thisstatistic. 5/ Prices are simple averages for 1947-61 and weighted averages for 1962 to date. 6/ Based on blend (uniform) price adjusted for the butterfat content, and starting in 1988,other milk components of producer milk.

 1/ These figures are the population in the counties, parishes, independent cities, and local subdivisions of the States listed that 

make up the marketing area. The source of these figures is the 2000 Population Census conducted by the Bureau of the Census, 

U.S. Department of Commerce. 

2/ These figures are estimated based on the statewide percent changes in population between April 1, 2000 and July 1, 2006. 

These updates are best used as an estimate of population for the year and should not be compared to previous updates to 

measure change over time. 

3/ Effective May 1, 2006, the marketing area was contracted with the removal of Clark County, Nevada. The name of the 

Federal order was changed from Arizona-Las Vegas to Arizona.

SUMMARY OF MAJOR ORDER ACTIONS DURING 2006 

JANUARY

Arizona-Las Vegas – January 1 (70 FR 70991, 11/25/05.) This final rule adopts without change an interim 

final rule, effective 4/1/05, which amended the Producer milk provision of the Arizona-Las Vegas milk 

marketing order to eliminate the ability to simultaneously pool the same milk on the order and on a Stateoperated order that provides for marketwide pooling. 

FEBRUARY

Upper Midwest – February 1 (70 FR 73126, 12/9/05.) This final rule adopts without change an interim final 

rule, effective 7/1/05, which amended the pooling standards and transportation credit provisions of the 

Upper Midwest milk marketing order. Specifically, that action: (1) revised the supply plant performance 

standards so that milk seeking to be pooled on the order demonstrates consistent service to the Class I 

market; (2) prevented handlers located within the States that comprise the Upper Midwest marketing area 

from qualifying milk located outside of the States that comprise the marketing area; (3) eliminated 

diversions to nonpool plants outside of the States that comprise the Upper Midwest marketing area; and (4) 

established a limit of the receipt by handlers of a transportation credit to milk movements of 400 miles or 

less. 

APRIL

Pacific Northwest and Arizona-Las Vegas – April 1 (71 FR 9430, 2/24/06.) This final rule amends the 

producer-handler definition provisions of the Pacific Northwest and Arizona-Las Vegas milk marketing 

orders by eliminating the exemption from the pooling and pricing provisions of the orders for producerhandlers with in-area route disposition in excess of 3 million pounds per month. 

MAY

Mideast – May 1 (71 FR 20335, 4/20/06.) This final rule adopts without change an interim final rule, 

effective 10/1/05, which amended the pooling standards of the Mideast milk marketing order. Specifically, 

that action: (1) prohibited the ability to simultaneously pool the same milk on the Mideast Federal milk 

order and on a marketwide equalization pool administered by another government entity; (2) lowered the 

diversion limit standards; and (3) increased the performance standards for supply plants. 

Northeast and Other Marketing Areas – May 1 (71 FR 25495, 5/1/06.) This final rule amends the current 10 

Federal milk marketing areas by implementing the provisions of the Milk Regulatory Equity Act, signed 

into law on April 11, 2006, which amended the Agricultural Marketing Agreement Act of 1937. 

Specifically, this action: (1) requires fluid milk handlers located in the 10 Federal milk order marketing 

areas as described on the date of enactment, but not regulated under any Federal milk order, to pay Federal 

order minimum prices to the Federal order where the handler is physically located for sales of packaged 

fluid milk into non-Federally regulated marketing area(s) located within one or more States that require 

handlers to pay minimum prices for milk, excluding plants pooled on another Federal order, plants subject 

to minimum pricing under State regulations, exempt plants, and producer-handlers with less than 3 million 

pounds of route disposition; (2) partially or fully regulates any producer-handler that has total disposition of 

Class I products of own-farm production in excess of 3 million pounds and distributes fluid milk in the 

Arizona-Las Vegas marketing order area; and, (3) removes the State of Nevada from the marketing area 

definition of any Federal milk order.

the milk of a dairy farmer be received at a pool plant in each of the months of January, February, and 

August through November, to be eligible for diversion to non-pool plants; (4) Lower the diversion limit 

standards by five percentage points, from 80 percent to 75 percent, for the months of August through 

February, and by five percentage points, from 85 percent to 80 percent for the months of March through 

July; and (5) Establish provisions that limit the volume of milk a handler may pool in a month to 125

FEDERAL MILK ORDER PRICE FORMULAS FOR 2006 

Note: Milk prices are per 100 pounds or cwt., rounded to the nearest cent. 

Component prices are per pound, rounded to nearest one-hundredth cent. 

Cheese, dry whey, butter, and nonfat dry milk prices are weighted monthly averages of weekly 

NASS survey prices, rounded to the nearest one-hundredth cent. 

Class I: 

 Class I Price = (Class I skim milk price x 0.965) + (Class I butterfat price x 3.5). 

 Class I Skim Milk Price = Higher of advanced Class III or IV skim milk pricing factors + applicable Class I 

 differential. 

 Class I Butterfat Price = Advanced butterfat pricing factor+ (applicable Class I differential divided by 100). 

 Note: Advanced pricing factors are computed using applicable price formulas listed below, 

 except that product price averages are for two weeks. 

Class II: 

 Class II Price = (Class II skim milk price x 0.965) + (Class II butterfat price x 3.5). 

 Class II Skim Milk Price = Advanced Class IV skim milk pricing factor + $0.70. 

 Class II Butterfat Price = Butterfat price + $0.007. 

 Class II Nonfat Solids Price = Class II skim milk price divided by 9. 

 

Class III: 

 Class III Price = (Class III skim milk price x 0.965) + (Butterfat price x 3.5). 

 Class III Skim Milk Price = (Protein price x 3.1) + (Other solids price x 5.9). 

 Protein Price = ((Cheese price – 0.165) x 1.383 + ((((Cheese price – 0.165) x 1.572)- 

 Butterfat price x 0.9) x1.17). 

 Other Solids Price = (Dry whey price – 0.159) times 1.03. 

 Butterfat Price = (Butter price -0.115) times 1.20. 

Class IV: 

 Class IV Price = (Class IV skim milk price x 0.965) + (Butterfat price x 3.5). 

 Class IV Skim Milk Price = Nonfat solids price x 9. 

 Nonfat Solids Price = (Nonfat dry milk price - 0.14) x 0.99. 

 Butterfat Price = See Class III. 

Somatic Cell Adjustment Rate = Cheese price x 0.0005, rounded to fifth decimal place. 

 Rate is per 1,000 somatic cell count difference from 350,000.
