The Impact

AbstractThe Southeast is a net importer of milk and milk products. Milk must be imported from other regions at certain times of the year. Reverse osmosis (RO) is a new processing technology which could significantly reduce milk transportation costs between regions by removing half the water from raw milk prior to shipment. A network flow algorithm, which incorporates federal milk orders and solves for the least cost procurement pattern, was used to assess the impact of RO on southeast milk marketing orders under alternative raw product pricing scenarios.

Meeting Problems

The process cheese industry of the United States began over 55 years ago. Basic patents describing blending and heating and use of emulsifiers were the first, shared by Kraft and Phenix interests. In the early years a few competitors were licensed. Some dealers and cheese makers believed processing could ruin the cheese industry, but cheese consumption per capita increased. About 60% of consumers preferred process to natural cheese. Investigations of early practices led to definitions at state and federal levels; these have been re-defined and frequently revised. Demands of processors have affected the natural cheese industry in developing and locating new factories and aiding in composition and quality control. Processors promoted packaging and mechandising of all cheese. Cheese processors, associated dealers, and distributors organized the National Cheese Institute which has been a force in meeting problems of research, education, and regulation. From 1944 to 1968 it gave over $225,000 for independent research on problems of public health and industrial practices. The industry defended its trading practices in New York, Illinois, and Wisconsin with mixed success when accused of conspiracy to fix prices by the Federal Trade Commission in the 1940s, but today is largely responsible for orderly trading on the Wisconsin Cheese Exchange. Values established are important factors in Federal Milk Marketing orders which determine prices of fluid milk.

AbstractThe General Accounting Office (GAO) recommended that the USDA substantially reduce or eliminate the extent of price discrimination practiced under federal milk marketing orders. The purpose of this study was to quantify the impacts of alternative means of implementing the GAO proposal on the economic viability of Texas and New Mexico dairy farms. Five dairy farms were simulated for six years under the current dairy policy and five alternative proposals. Results of the analyses indicate that large New Mexico dairies can remain economically viable under all of the alternatives. On the other hand, federal order policy changes would accelerate the loss of equity for moderate size Texas dairy farms.

Cheese Prices

AbstractThe organized Exchange spot (cash) cheese market is a private industry institution that has historically performed a primary price discovery function in the U.S. dairy industry. In addition to affecting cheese prices in contract cheese market, the Exchange spot cheese prices have influenced prices paid for milk at the farm level that are set within the system of Federal Milk Marketing Orders (FMMOs). The effects that the Exchange spot cheese market has on FMMOs milk pricing attract increased attention in light of the recent concerns about increasing milk price volatility and its effect on the dairy farm profitability. While the design of milk pricing within FMMOs has evolved over the last three decades, the effects of the Exchange spot cheese prices on FMMOs milk pricing have intensified. The research analyzes the conduct and performance of the Exchange spot cheese market during three FMMOs milk pricing regimes (Minnesota-Wisconsin price regime, Basic Formula Price and modern Multiple Component Pricing regime), with a particular focus on the Exchange spot cheese price behavior.
