Tb106: A Transshipment Model Of The Maine Milk Industry, Stuart Mclean, Alan S. Kezis, James Fitzpatrick, Homer B. Metzger

A model was developed that included the cost of assembly, processing, and wholesale distribution of Class I milk within the state of Maine. Solution of the model with parameter values appropriate to current costs associated with these three aspects of the milk market yielded an achievable least cost allocation for performing the assembly, processing, and distribution of milk, adequate to meet demand, throughout the state. It is hoped that the model will prove a powerful planning and diagnostic tool.

Simulation of marketing situations is a means of better understanding the impact of various changes which may or may not come about in an industry. This report reflects the impact of several assumptions about market situations in the dairy industry, many of which depart from existing conditions. A major assumption was that of complete price deregulation. The results are not considered final, but are offered as indicators of the impact of changes which may take place in the marketing of mil k in Maine.

Tb79: The Economic Impact Of Expanding The Federal Milk Order Into Northern New England, Homer Metzger, Fred Webster
Technical Bulletins
This study was undertaken to (1) gather data on current marketing situations including milk volume and utilization, prices paid to producers, and rates charged for hauling milk in the federal order and state order areas, and (2) to determine the economic and related impacts of expanding the Boston regional order into Northern New England. Emphasis was placed upon the expected impact on producers but implications for milk dealers and consumers also were considered. The main focus was on Maine and Vermont situations but some data were also collected on the non-federal order markets of New Hampshire and Massachusetts.
