 The source of the receipt is based on the location of the producer, not the location of the regulated handler. Marketing area 

totals may not add due to rounding. 2

 For some marketing areas, receipts from some States have been combined in order to mask 

either administratively confidential data and/or small volumes. The States are listed by decreasing proportions of deliveries to the 

marketing area. For some marketing areas, handlers elected not to pool producer milk that normally would have been associated 

with the marketing area due to disadvantageous price relationships.

Methodology: Producer Milk by State of Origin 

Definitions: 

Producer is any person who produces milk approved by a duly constituted regulatory agency for fluid consumption 

as Grade A milk and whose milk (or components of milk) is received at a pool plant directly from the producer or 

diverted by the plant operator. 

Producer Milk is the skim milk (or the skim equivalent of components of skim milk) and butterfat contained in milk 

of a producer that is received by the operator of a regulated pool plant. 

Milk marketed and percentages are computed from data obtained from "Milk Production, Disposition and Income - 

2016 Summary," NASS, USDA. 

All milk marketed is milk sold to plants and dealers as whole milk and equivalent amounts of milk for cream. This 

includes milk produced by dealers' own herds and milk sold directly to consumers. It also includes milk produced by 

institutional herds. 

Fluid milk marketed is milk that is eligible for fluid use (Grade A in most States). 

Data: The Milk by State of Origin data are collected by Federal Milk Marketing Orders and aggregated by Market 

Information Branch of Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS). 

Producer milk receipts are listed according to the location of the producer, not the location of the regulated handler. 

Regional and U.S. Total figures may not add due to rounding. Excludes volumes not pooled due to disadvantageous 

price relationships. 

Marketing area totals may not add due to rounding. 

For some marketing areas, receipts from some States have been combined in order to mask either administratively 

confidential data and/or small volumes. The States are listed by decreasing proportions of deliveries to the marketing 

area. For some marketing areas, handlers elected not to pool producer milk that normally would have been associated 

with the marketing area due to disadvantageous price relationships. 

Reliability: Data are subject to revision for three years following the initial annual report. The AMS audit staff 

periodically perform on-site audits on a company’s sales records to ensure accurate reporting of pool information.
