| Declines in dairy farm numbers and milk production in Minnesota and Wisconsin continue to cause concern to the industry and stimulate activities and proposals to reverse the trend. But, simply viewing the aggregate changes in the states' industries overlooks some of the more positive changes in industry structure. The purpose of this article is to utilize the data that have recently been made available from the 1992 Census of Agriculture to illustrate some divergent trends in dairy farm structure and to make some projections of future industry structure in these two states. |

| Dairy producers operating in the U.S. have been protected against market price variability by the federal price support program for over 35 years. During the late 1970s tax outlays to operate this program grew at a rapid rate. While many authors have addressed the economic implications of the existing dairy price support program, few have explicitly considered the relationship between risk aversion, capital investment, milk production, and support price policy in this process. This paper considers the role of uncertainty and risk-averse behavior and suggests that these elements are crucial to an economic analysis of the current program and future dairy policy issues. |

| This paper outlines the major trends experienced by Spain's dairy sector in recent decades. It offers tentative explanations of the factors accounting for these observed trends. Implications for the nation's dairy farm sector from entry into the EEC are examined. The paper concludes with some considerations on the possibilities to carry out the necessary technical and structural reforms needed to achieve a viable dairy sector before full application of the mechanisms for the Community's dairy policy takes place. |

| Technical marketing efficiency is an important component of comparative advantage that countries may possess in food marketing. This aspect of marketing efficiency may be affected by size of market(s), technology used, input costs, and institutional factors. With regard to the latter, Norwegian policy makers have asked whether the extensive regulation and monopolization by a single processing cooperative in the Norwegian dairy sector have resulted in technical inefficiency that leads to excessive costs of milk marketing. Excessive marketing costs could have three important impacts; increased prices for domestic consumers, reduced prices for farmers, and reduced competitiveness in international markets. International competitiveness is critical for... |
