Southern Dairy Farmers' Evaluation of Milk Handlers
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Liebrand,   Carolyn; Carley,   Dale H.; Ling,   K. Charles.
Southern dairy farmers' perception of their cooperative's or proprietary handler's performance, level of satisfaction with the milk handler, and reasons for staying with the handler, or for shifting handlers, were evaluated. The data were from a 1989 mail survey of Southern dairy farmers. The dairy farmers' differing evaluations of their milk handlers depended on the type of handler they dealt with, geographic location, and/or the characteristics of the farm and farmer. Generally, dairy farmers were concerned about price, deductions, and assessments. The price farmers received appeared to be a significant factor affecting farmers' satisfaction level. There appeared to be a tradeoff between price and deductions versus service, and market and payment...

A Reserve-Balancing Pool for Services by Dairy Cooperatives
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Ling,   K. Charles.
The rationale for compensating dairy cooperatives for the costs incurred in balancing milk supply for the fluid market is examined. A reserve-balancing pool is proposed to facilitate deducting supply-balancing service credit from a marketwide producer pool and making payment to cooperatives for providing the services. The volume of necessary reserves maintained for the fluid market determines the size of the reserve-balancing pool. A dairy cooperative qualifies for pool payment based on the volume of milk delivered for fluid uses and on the volume of necessary reserves actually balanced. An alternative qualification is to allocate the volume of necessary reserves each cooperative has to balance according to a cooperative's market share of milk for fluid...

Pricing Plans for Managing Seasonal Deliveries by Dairy Cooperatives
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Ling,   K. Charles.
This study develops a method to devise pricing plans for dairy cooperatives to recover costs of handling seasonal milk deliveries from producers and the cost of satisfying handlers' cyclical fluid demand. Based on analyses of hauling and manufacturing costs, charges against producers and handlers are formulated. Manufacturing cost is the major component of producer charges. Give-up charges against handlers are determined by the cooperative's manufacturing cost, while hauling cost is the main consideration in servicing handlers' day-to-day fluctuation of fluid demand.

Dairy Product Manufacturing Costs at Cooperative Plants
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Ling,   K. Charles.
Cost data are summarized for 14 plants manufacturing cheese, butter, and powder and average costs are presented for each product. Average cost curves are estimated for each plant. The scale of plant for least-cost operations is identified for plants of each product type. Plant capacity utilization and seasonal volume variation and their impacts on manufacturing cost are delineated.
