A new base will be made each July-December; if a farm er’s production goes up, so will his base; if his production goes down, so will his base. 3. A "base blend price is paid for base milk during March through June of the following year, with the Class II price paid for production in excess of base. The base blend price will be above the market average blend price, so as to provide a price advantage to those produc ers whose production is in line with their base. 4. Bases can be transferred in their entirety (no partial base transfer). The base program does not prevent herd expansion. It does, however, economically guide ex pansion to the last six months of the year, July through De cember. Producers in other markets where this plan has been used have been able to move toward the market needs of level sea sonal production. DO YOU HAVE MANUE HANDLING PROBLEMS?
