Abstract

Excerpts from the report Summary: The major outlets for reserve and surplus milk in the fluid milk markets of Kansas, northwestern Missouri, and Oklahoma are its use in ice cream and cottage cheese, or its sale as milk or sweet cream to other plants manufacturing ice cream. Much of the milk going into such uses is priced by formulas using a fixed relationship to the prices for butter and nonfat milk solids at Chicago. This study was made to provide the factual basis for considering whether the value of reserve and surplus milk might be indicated more precisely by the price of cream than by the price of butter. The data concerning the price structure and marketing practices for sweet cream in this area are based on an analysis of 13,400 sales, totaling 7 1/2 million pounds, of butterfat in sweet cream by 19 firms during 1951 (and of a smaller group in 1952 and 1953).
