				  containers should also increase or decrease, or both, proportionally to the
				  one-half gallon use.

				processors to dairy farmers and others, coming within the scope of this
				stabilization plan f.o.b. the processor's plant after the effective date of
				this plan for milk which is ultimately utilized in class II, shall be the class
				II price per hundredweight for federal market order no. 30, adjusted to a 3.5
				percent butterfat basis. Butterfat differentials above or below the midpoint of
				3.5 percent will be those used in federal market order no. 30.
3. Class III. Commencing July 1, 2000, (in
				the city of Bottineau) the minimum price to be paid by milk processors to dairy
				farmers and others coming within the scope of this stabilization plan, f.o.b.
				the processor's plant for milk which is ultimately utilized in class III,
				except that used in the manufacture of butter, shall be the same as the selling
				price for said class III raw milk by grade A processing plants to manufacturing
				plants less a four percent administrative and transportation allowance to the
				nearest full cent adjusted to a 3.5 percent butterfat basis. Commencing
July 1, 2000, in market areas 3, 4, and 6 (except the city of
				  Bottineau) the minimum price to be paid by milk processors to dairy farmers and
				  others coming within the scope of this stabilization plan f.o.b. the
				  processor's plant for milk which is ultimately utilized in class III, except
				  that used in the manufacture of butter, shall be priced under a "multiple
				  component pricing" system to include protein, other solids, and somatic cell
				  count. The respective prices for these components, in a given month, and
				  computations thereon will be those used by federal market order no. 30. Two
				  additional components, butterfat and producer price differential, will use as a
				  basis the class III price per hundredweight for federal market order no. 30
				  less a four percent administrative and transportation allowance to the nearest
				  full cent adjusted to a 3.5 percent butterfat basis. Butterfat differentials
				  above or below the midpoint of 3.5 percent will be those used in federal market
				  order no. 30. Commencing July 1, 2000, the minimum price to be paid by milk
				  processors to dairy farmers and others coming within the scope of this
				  stabilization plan, f.o.b. the processor's plant for milk and cream which is
				  ultimately used in class III for the manufacture of butter, shall be the
				  monthly national agricultural statistical service (NASS) survey butter price
				  less a $.05 per pound administrative and transportation allowance rounded to
				  the nearest cent.
If a processing plant pays to its dairy farmers and others a
				  premium above the class III minimum raw milk price as established herein, such
				  price including the premium, shall become the minimum class III raw milk price
				  for audit purposes for said plant, and said plant shall not be entitled to
				  dilute the class I and class II raw milk prices for payment of said premiums on
				  said class III raw milk.
4. The foregoing class I, II, and III dairy
				farmer prices shall be automatically adjusted each month, without further
				amendment to this stabilization plan based upon the prices ordered for federal
				market order no. 30.
