| Current dairy regulations in the U.S. are the result of over 80 years of regulatory activities. Through the 1920s and 1930s the U.S. government passed various acts designed to increase the share of market surplus captured by sellers, which at the time was judged insufficient. Lately, budget constraints and commitments to freer trade agreement have let the government and some dairy sector leaders contemplate different levels of dairy deregulation. The elimination of the Federal Milk Marketing Orders (FMMOs), a cornerstone of U.S. dairy regulation, has emerged as a possibility. The thought of eliminating the FMMOs was particularly disturbing to milk producers because of uncertainty regarding what might happen to the farm price, the volume of raw milk... |

| The Uruguay Round Agreements Act (1995) directed the USDA to study the potential implications of the new General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade for Federal Milk Marketing Orders. This research was conducted to comply with that requirement. The analysis described in this publication incorporates revisions to the model used in the original analysis, reflecting extensions and updates developed in conjunction with another study (ct. Pratt et al., "A Description of the Methods and Data Employed in the U.S. Dairy Sector Simulator, Version 97.3," R.B. 97-09, Department of Agricultural, Resource, and Managerial Economics, Cornell University, 1997). Of primary relevance here are changes in transportation costs which result in broader implications for North American... |

| Mathematical programming models, as typically formulated for international trade applications, may contain certain implied restrictions limiting price responsiveness, intermediate product flows, and arbitrage possibilities. These restrictions are especially important in the case of dairy, and may lead to results which are technically infeasible, or if feasible, not consistent with market equilibrating behavior. The difficulties encountered when modeling dairy trade are described, and an alternative formulation of a spatial model is presented. This formulation allows joint-inputs, multi-products, intermediate markets, and pure transshipment and product substitution forms of arbitrage. |

| A transshipment model of the Northeast dairy sector is developed to assess the potential for structural change in the manufacturing industry. It is detennined that the reduction of existing hard product processing capacity near metropolitan areas would diminish total costs. Industry-wide savings of about 60 million dollars annually would be realized by fluid, soft product, cheese and butter/powder manufacturers. The model points to finn level as well as industry level incentives to move toward a more concentrated dairy manufacturing sector in the Northeast. |

| A combination of a more punitive policy situation and the greater range in size and financial performance in farms, especially across regions, has led to policy-makers focusing more on how new policies or policy proposals affect regions or types of farms, not just the national aggregates or average. While some new research is focusing on the implications of policy changes on farms in different areas and of different sizes, less has been done to improve how one goes about identifying and defining a "representative" farm. The basic objective of this study is to explore the relationship between structural, technical efficiency, and financial performance data for a large sample of New York dairy farms. To what extent are financial or technical performance... |

| Economists have long considered issues of spatial economic activity, trade, and location values. Among all the various theories presented over the past century, it is safe to say that not one predicts that goods, services, or factors of production must attain the same value at different locations in geographic space. Only under the most extreme conditions, such as zero transportation costs, would it be even conceivable that the same commodity or factor of production be expected to command the same price in two geographically separated markets. With costly transportation, it is possible that two separate markets have nearly the same, or even identical, prices, but there are no theoretically justified reasons to expect such an outcome, a priori. When the... |

| In 1989, The Cornell Program on Dairy Markets and Policy collaborated with the Texas A&M Agricultural and Food Policy Center to form a National Institute for Livestock and Dairy Policy (NILDP). The Institute is a focal point for a neutral and objective analyses of the consequences of alternative government policies on the livestock, dairy, and poultry industries and the broader economics of livestock and dairy markets. Based on their respective strengths and emphases, Texas A&M is the lead institution on livestock and poultry sector analysis, and Cornell is the lead institution on dairy sector analysis. The Institute has been supported by a special research grant through the U. S. Department of Agriculture since 1989. The Dairy Farm Analysis... |
