State totals are not published when fewer than 3 firms have reported or one firm
comprises more than 60 percent of the State total.  The map above outlines the  
regions used in the product tables.  If we are not able to publish a region for 
confidentiality reasons, it will be combined with other regions when possible.  
For example, if North Atlantic can not be published, then it will be combined   
with South Atlantic to publish Atlantic.  The West North Central and East North 
Central will be combined, if necessary, to form North Central. In the event that
neither could be published, they will be combined with South Central to publish 
Central.  Some tables will have only one or two regions shown, therefore the    
regions may not add to the United States total.

Procedures and Reliability:  Estimates included in this report are based on data
                             provided each month by manufacturers of these      
products.  In 32 States, the State Departments of Agriculture assist in         
collection of data, which eliminates duplicate reporting and reduces respondent 
burden.  Data are collected by mail, personal and telephone interviews          
following the close of each month.  There were 1,420 manufacturers that made one
or more products in 1996.  Each month, reports are generally received from all  
dairy plants in States with small numbers of plants.  In States with large      
numbers of plants, survey procedures are designed to obtain monthly reports from
all large plants and from a sample of small plants. Monthly estimates are based 
upon returns from about 70 percent of the plants which account for 70 to 90     
percent of the total production of major dairy products.                        
                                                                                
                                                                                
Revision Policy:  Monthly production estimates are subject to revision the month
                  following the preliminary estimates.  Annual revisions are    
also published in the "Dairy Products" report published each April.  An attempt 
is made to get information from all plants for preparing these estimates.       
Stocks data are subject to revision the month following the preliminary         
estimate.
