August. Imagine what you
have to look forward to this
Fall!
You accomplished this
with a record high Class n
price of $11.96 and a record
low Class I utilization (for
August) of 42.2 per cent.
You got that low Class I
utilization as a result of 18
consecutive months of

production increases
compared to the same month
of the previous year. So after
18 months, you have six
months of increases on top of
increases.
August production of 861
million pounds was the
highest for the month in
Order 2 since 1973 and Class
I sales were the lowest since
1956. For the month of
August you produced a
million pounds of milk a day
more than last year and sold
300,000 pounds of fluid milk a
day less than last year.
Isn’t it nice that with all
these increases in produc
tion and a record low Class I
utilization you end up with a
record high blend price and
the promise of more to
come?
HOW COME?
The first thing you can cut
away from that $13.01
August blend price is 36
cents that came from the
Louisville Plan money that
you put in last Spring. That
already drops the $13.01 to
$12.65.
That Class II price of
$11.96 had a ten cent
seasonal differential in it
and really was only $11.86.
With 58 per cent of your milk
going to Class n, that would
have reduced your blend to
$12.59 which was the “real”
price in Order 2 for August
milk.

Compared to $12.48 for
July milk that’s only 11 cents
more than last month not 53
cents more.
Admittedly, these figures
aren’t precise but the 11 cent
increase over last month
more nearly reflects the
change in the market
situation than the 53 cents
increase. It also more nearly
reflects your “real” income
from milk.
On the average, your milk
check was higher in August
than July, but when you take
away all the “trimmings’’
your production dropped 6.7
per cent and your “real”
price went up only one per
cent. So your “real” gross
income was less in August
than it was in July.
All of these adjustments
revolve around the
Louisville Plan and the.
seasonal adjustments to the
Class II price. They have
been part of Order 2 for a
long time and were included
with the consent of the
producers in a worthy effort
to facilitate the marketing of
your milk.
You should understand
how they work as well as
why they are used so you can
distinguish price changes
induced by order provisions
from price changes induced
by marketing conditions.
