| Federal, state and local governments have funded various efforts to support value added agriculture, often implicitly assuming that the enterprises would be profitable and that the transition from commodity producer to producer-processor-marketer-distributor would be relatively easy. Some analysts (e.g., Streeter and Bills; 2003a, 2003b) have questioned both of these assumptions, noting that available aggregate data do not allow assessment of the financial performance of value-added enterprises. Our study collected detailed financial information from 27 value-added dairy enterprises with cows, goats or sheep in three states. These businesses processed and marketed cheese, fluid milk products and yogurt; 17 had begun processing during the previous three... |

| 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. |

| 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... |

| In the last decade or two there has been a resurgence of interest in value-added agriculture, driven by consumer characteristics and the desire of farmers to capture a larger share of the consumer dollar. Federal, state and local governments have funded various efforts to support value-added agriculture, often implicitly assuming that the enterprises would be profitable and that the transition from commodity producer to producer-processor-marketer-distributor would be relatively easy. Some analysts (e.g., Streeter and Bills, 2003) have questioned both of these assumptions, noting that available aggregate data do not allow assessment of the financial performance of value-added enterprises. In the major milk-producing states, on-farm processing of milk is... |
