The Unique Qualities of the Southern Milk Marketing Orders
The Unique Qualities of the Southern Milk Marketing Orders
Published on Sep. 1, 2017
Milk is a heavily regulated commodity, and therefore there are a large number of rules that pertain to its production and processing. These regulations are enforced within regional boundaries called federal milk marketing orders. Most milk marketing orders have similar regulations, but the Appalachian, Florida, and Southeast Orders are somewhat unique when it comes to diversion limits, transportation credits, and delivery day requirements.
This publication will highlight these distinctive qualities of Southern milk marketing orders and how those qualities can influence production and processing in those orders. A glossary is provided at the end for reference.
