SUPPLY and UTILIZATION of GRADE A MILK in ALABAMA
19SL through 1962 *
Lowell E. Wilson
Assistant Professor of Agricultural 
Economics --
This report contains a compilation of statistical and related in-
formation dealing with the marketing of Grade A milk in Alabama. It
is a revision and expansion of a report entitled MARKETING of MILK in
ALABAMA, published in December, 1960. 1/ This revised report presents
marketing data covering the period from 195 through 1962, whereas the
earlier report covered the period 1958 through 1960. The purpose is
to bring together available information relating to the fluid milk
industry in Alabama and to present this information in a usable form
for the dairy industry and other interested groups.
The data presented in this report were compiled largely from orders,
rules, regulations, and other reports released by the Alabama Milk Con-
trol Board. Information regarding supplementary imports of milk was
obtained from the Alabama Department of Public Health. Data showing
deliveries of Alabama produced milk sold in the Chattanooga, Tennessee
* The Experiment Station project on which this report is based was
supported by funds provided by the Research and Marketing Act of 1946
and by State Research funds. The overall study was carried out as part
of Alabama Research Project 583, a contributing study to the Southern
Regional Dairy Marketing Project SM-10 (Revised), "Establishing Guides
for Efficient Organization of the Dairy Industry Under Changing Conditions
in the South".
-R The author expresses appreciation to the people who aided in the
preparation of the material in this report. Employees of the Alabama
Milk Control Board cooperated in supplying information used in this report.

The fluid milk industry in Alabama is almost entirely under the
supervision of the Alabama Milk Control Board. Currently, 
all Grade A
milk delivered by Alabama producers to fluid milk plants located in the
State is regulated by the Board. A relatively small volume of Grade A
milk produced in Alabama counties along adjoining state lines 
is shipped
to out-of-state handlersa Part of the volume of exports 
of Alabama pro-
duced Grade A milk is 
given in Table 55.
Regulated Milk Sheds
Although milk sold 
for fluid use in many 
State markets has 
been
under supervision of the Board since the late 1930's, it has been only
in recent years that the authority of the Board has been extended to
cover most of the State. From the establishment of milk 
sheds in 1939
to the early 1950's, regulated milk sheds were defined to include small
areas. The Mobile Milk Shed, for example, was 
defined to include a
territory within a radius of 10 miles of the Courthouse of Mobile County.
The 15 milk sheds in effect during June, 1952, are 
shown in Figure No.
1. At that time regulated milk sheds were limited in 
designated towns
and the nearby area. The Birmingham Milk Shed, however, 
included all
of Jefferson County.
Because of changing marketing conditions, the Milk Control 
Board
subsequently expanded regulated market areas generally 
along county
lines and included larger areas in most sheds. By March 
1, 195h, the
authority of the Board had been extended to 53 counties 
and the number
of milk sheds reduced to 6, Figure Noo 2. September 
1, 1961, when the
Northwest Alabama Milk Shed came under supervision and 
regulation of
the Board, the fluid milk industry in the entire State became re-
gulated for the first time. In November, 1961, the number of milk
sheds was reduced to 3.
All of the changes and the effective dates of the changes in
milk sheds from March 1, 1954, to November 16, 1961, (date of last
change in sheds) are shown in Figures No. 2 through 6.
Market Classes and Prices
Grade A milk in Alabama is purchased under a classified pricing
plan. For many years producers were paid on the basis of two class
uses, Classes I and II. A Class I price was established for milk
used in fluid consumption including cream products, and a Class II
or lower price class was established for surplus milk.
Since 1954, the Alabama Milk Control Board has made several
changes in the number and definition of class uses. Until Sept-
ember, 1956, milk utilized in most fluid products was purchased at the
Class I price. After public hearings were held by the Board in
August, 1956, a new Class II -was defined and surplus was redefined
as Class III. Whole milk utilized in buttermilk and chocolate
milk became Class II. In December, 1956, the number of use classifi-
cations was increased to 4. Class I was unchanged; milk used in
chocolate milk became Class II; milk used in buttermilk was changed
to Class III; and surplus was ClassIV.
Producers were paid on the basis of 4 class uses from December
16, 1956 to October 31, 1959. Effective November 1, 1959, chocolate
milk was reclassified into Class I and the number of classes reduced
to 3. The last change in class definition was effective in September,
1961. Class II was redefined to include skim milk products, chocolate
or flavored drinks (formerly in Class I), and buttermilk.
During the period covered by this report, the Board has issued
orders regulating the sale of milk under contract to the United States
Government. Until November, 1959, producers were paid the Class I
price for this milk for all months except April, May, and June. During
these 3 months, the producer price was the surplus price plus $150
per hundred pounds of milk testing 4 per cent 'utterfat. A pricing
order effective November 1, 1959, provided that producers receive a
minimum price of $415 for government contract milk throughout the
year.
Standing Order NS-3, effective November 1, 1959, provided that a
distributor and one or more of his producers may agree to dispose of
milk, which would otherwise be surplus, as government contract milk.
The distributor and the producer each must agree to receive 50 per
cent of the sale price of the government contract milk. However, the
producer's share will be no less than the minimum amount allowed in
the pricing orders ($L..l). Thus, it is possible for a producer to
receive over 50 per cent of the contract price
0
Milk sold in bulk by one plant to another is referred to as an
interplant transfer. The Board issued an order effective November 1,
1959, regulating the price to be paid producers of milk handled in
this manner The selling plant received a commission of 15 per cent
of the price and the producer 85 per cent, providing the producer's
share was not less than the surplus price. Effective September 1, 1961,
the producer share was increased to 90 per cent of the selling price.
Definition of class uses, including government contract milk and inter-
plant transfers, and changes in definition from January, 195i, to
December, 1962, are shown on pages 14 to 20.
Minimum produc.er-.prices effective throughout the period re-
ported are shown by pay period, class use, and market area in
Tables 1 through 9. Orders of the Board from which these prices
were obtained are shown in footnotes below each table. Until Nov-
ember 1, 1959, the Class I price paid producers varied among regu-
lated milk sheds. For that reason, Class I prices are given by
milk sheds. Minimum prices set by the.Board for lower class uses
were the same in all sheds.
Minimum prices to be paid producers for government contract
milk are given in Table l0, These prices are effective in all re-
gulated milk sheds.
The butterfat differential effetive in each pay period from
January, 1954, to December, 1962, is given in Table 11.
Explanation of Statistical Tables
Each month the Office of the Alabama Milk Control Board releases
a report showing supplies and utilization of Grade A milk received by
handlers licensed by the Board. This monthly report provided the
basis for development of the statistical tables presented herein,
Tables 12 through 54. Data reported in the tables are given as totals
for all regulated handlers and not by milk shed. As several addition-
al market areas have become regulated by the Board since 19L, care
should be taken in comparing supplies and use of milk for different
time periods.
Tables 12 through 20 give supplies purchased from producer li
censees and imported supplies. A number of handlers regularly re-
ceive milk from out-of-state producers. This volume is referred to
as imported milk. Most imported milk is produced in Mississippi and
6
Tennessee. During periods of inadequate supplies, 
it has been necessary
for handlers to obtain 
supplementary imports. 
During 1957 and 1958,
several million pounds, of supplementary imports were 
purchased by licens-
ed handlers. Since 1958 the volume of supplementary 
imports has been
smaller. According to data provided by the Alabama 
Department of Public
Health, a total of 68 tank loads of supplementary milk supplies 
was
brought into the State during 1959, 30 during 
1960, one during 1961 and
14 during 1962.
Tables 21 through 29 list the class utilization of all milk received
by licensed handlers. Utilization of 
Alabama produced supplies is given
for each class as well as for government 
contract milk and interplant
transfers. Except for 1954 and 1955, 
use of imported supplies is shown
only for Class Io The remaining volume 
of imported milk not used in
Class I is given as an amount used in all lower class 
uses. For several
months during the earlier years, the total amount 
of milk reported used
in Class I products was greater than the amount 
of Alabama milk used in
Class I plus total imports for the month. In 
such instances, the volume
of imports used in lower class products is 
listed as a negative amount.
Tables 30 through 38 give percentage utilization of Alabama 
produced
milk by class use. As the amount of imported 
milk used in each class
is not available, this volume is excluded from 
the tables,
Income received by Alabama producers is 
listed in Tables 39 through
!
6
, Income data were not available for 
1994. Amount paid for imported
milk is not reported by handlers, as the 
price paid for out-of-state
milk is not regulated by the Board.
Average prices per hundred pounds by 
class use are given in Tables
7
47 through 54. These prices differ from minimum prices fixed by the
Board largely because the average prices shown are not adjusted to milk
testing ) per cent butterfat. Also, until 1959, the Class I price varied
among regulated milk sheds. Price data indicate 
that the average butter-
fat content of milk marketed in the State 
is declining. For 1961, the
average butterfat test for all Alabama produced 
milk was about 3.95 per
cent. No attempt was made in preparing this report 
to determine the
butterfat content for the period studied.

United States Government Contract Milk
During the months of April,: May, and June 
of each year distri-
butors are authorized to purchase milk 
from producers at the current
surplus or Class II price plus $1.50 
per hundred, for the sole pur-
pose of furnishing such milk to the 
United States Government under
contract. This price is established 
for these months only to enable
licensed distributors to be in 
a competitive position to furnish
milk to the United States Government on 
the basis of competitive bid,
and will enable licensed producers 
to dispose of their surplus milk
to best advantage. During the other 
9 months of the year, July
through March, producers shall be paid 
Class I price for milk sold
under these contracts.

price of the bulk milk so sold and never less than the surplus 
price
(Standing Order NS-11, effective September 1, 1961).
Procedure for Standardization
In reporting Class I sales, a credit for standardization is allow-
able only under the following procedure: From the total amount of Class
I milk sold may be credited that quantity of skim milk derived by sep-
aration from the whole milk equivalent of half and half blend and cream
included in the above computation of Class I sales. For the purpose of
computing the milk equivalent of half and half blend and cream, 
distri-
butors and producer-distributors shall calculate each quart 
of half and
half blend on the basis of 5.75 pounds of milk per quart, each quart
of coffee cream on the basis of 10.5 pounds of milk per quart, and
whipping cream on the basis of 15.56 pounds of milk per 
quart. For the
purpose of determining the weight of milk, fortified 
skim milk, plain
skim, skim with added solids, chocolate milk, chocolate 
drink, whole
milk buttermilk, and clabbered whole milk sold - - distributors 
and
producer - - distributors shall calculate each quart 
of milk on the
basis of 2.15 pounds per quart. For the purpose of 
determining the
weight of non-fat or cultured buttermilk, distributors and 
producer-
distributors shall calculate each quart of non-fat 
or cultured butter-
milk on the basis of 2.1 pounds per quart.
