Abstract

Excerpts from the report Preface: This report is the last of a group dealing with Class III milk pricing in the New York-New Jersey milkshed. The project under which this group of publications has been developed was carried out by the Marketing Economics Research Division, Agricultural Marketing Service. This report, part VI, discusses principles of efficient pricing of milk in fluid milk markets under perfect competition, and how those principles might be modified to fit conditions of seasonally fluctuating milk supplies and a system of pricing according to use. The report also has a summary of principles advocated by witnesses at hearings on proposals for changes in the Class III provisions of the New York-New Jersey Milk Marketing Order. The remaining sections of the report relate to the marketing of Class III milk and its products. Out of a consideration of the structure of the market and some characteristics of the supply and demand for specific products of Class III milk, some conclusions are offered about the direction in which utilization might be expected to shift with lower or higher Class III prices, and a rationale that might be followed in fixing the Class III price.
