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 Program and is combined with the summary

reports for the other orders.

The data in this summary is for 2020. Similar data for years starting with 1947 have been published

in previous annual summaries. This annual summary can also be found online at:

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 order and prices paid to dairy farmers (producers). The

sources of these data are monthly reports that are required to be filed by milk processor (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 Program 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 is 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 report 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 Program headquarters office. The MIB compiles program-wide totals for the individual order reports 

and disseminates this information in a series of monthly and annual release 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. Individual entity reports are 

subject to audit and verification, thus ensuring that 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 in the next section 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 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 non-pool 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 hander. A milk distributor or a broker

cannot be a pool hander. 

continued
Non-pool Handler

A non-pool 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 non-pool plant. Non-pool 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 agency or a duly accredited college or university, for charitable

purposes, or from which less than 150,000 pounds per month are distributed. Some non-pool 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 is 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 non-pool 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 producer-handlers. 

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 product 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 the USDA. The 

most recent four or five weeks or 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.

continued
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 simple average of the advanced Class III and IV skim milk

pricing factors plus $0.74, 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 is also announced by the 23rd of the preceding month. 

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 a fully regulated handler only. Dispositions can occur

both inside and outside the defined marketing area of that order and can include both route sales and transfers to

non-pool or unregulated handlers. A route sale is a delivery to a retain 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 area from all sources; handlers regulated under the

respective order, handlers regulated under the 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.

(percent) ($/cwt)

* Revised. NA - Data not available. 1 The number of Federal order markets and the number of handlers is at year end. 2 The annual number of pooled 

producers is the simple average number of producers pooled each month during that year. 3

 The population of Federal milk marketing areas is obtained 

from published U.S. Census Annual Estimates of the Resident Population for Counties in U.S. Census years (1950, 1960, 1970, 1980, 1990, 2000, 

2010, and 2020). Annual Federal order county populations are estimated by the Census Bureau for Federal order counties for the years between each 

U.S. Census. Population data revised for 2010 to 2020 based on updated Census data. 4

 The receipts of producer milk and producer milk used in Class I 

reflects millions of pounds. Beginning in 1990, due to disadvantageous price situations in some markets, regulated handlers elected not to pool milk that 

normally would have been associated with the order. This has reduced, sometimes substantially, the volume of producer milk receipts reported for some 

markets. This can also affect significantly the comparability of other "Measures of Growth" based on this statistic. 5

 The percent used as Class I is the 

percentage of all milk pooled that is used to produce Class I fluid products as defined by the Code of Federal Regulation (CFR 1000.15). 6

 The 

percentage of all milk sold is the amount of producer milk pooled on Federal orders as a percentage of the total amount of milk sold to U.S. plants and 

dealers, both as fluid grade (Grade A) and all milk sold. The amount of milk sold to U.S. plants and dealers is obtained from the USDA National 

Agricultural Statistics Service Milk Production, Disposition, and Income, 2019 Summary, ISSN: 1949-1506, issued April 2020. 7

 The milk price at 

3.5% butterfat content is the weighted average Federal order minimum regulated milk price for milk at a standardized 3.5% butterfat content. Milk 

prices are simple averages for 1950-65 and weighted averages for 1970 to date. Milk prices are based on the blend (uniform) price adjusted for the 

butterfat content, and starting in 1990, other milk components of producer milk. 8

 The average daily delivery of milk per producer is calculated by 

dividing producer receipts by the number of producers pooled. 9

 The annual gross value of receipts of producer milk per producer is calculated by 

dividing the total value of all pooled milk as reported by the Market Administrators divided by the simple average of the number of producers pooled 

each month during the year. The annual gross value of all receipts of producer milk is the total value of all milk pooled for each respective year as 

reported by the Market Administrators. 10 2018 includes November and December data from the California Federal Milk Marketing Order which 

became effective November 1, 2018.
