thing for which there’s no return in
the marketplace,’* Tinklepaugh
said. Consumers, he added, are not
willing to pay a premium for milk
with higher than average amounts
of protein.
Handlers have not opposed the
use of multiple components in
cheese pricing because of the clear
evidence that higher protein con
tents boost cheese yields. In fact,
this is the basis of most current
protein premium programs. But
the dairy industry is split on the
question of multiple component
pricing for milk used to make “soft
products” such as sour cream and
ice cream.
In the Great Basin-Lake Mead
area, this milk will be subject to
protein-butterfat pricing if the plan
time butterfat production. Baker

is approved. Only a small amount
of milk reportedly is affected,
however. The disagreement could
provide more of a stumbling block
to multiple component pricing
efforts in markets, such as Federal
Order 4, in which the makers of
these products buy a much larger
percentage of the total milk supp
ly, Fraher said.
USDA’s Blanchard did not indi-*
cate when the department would
issue its final decision, but
observers are expecting it before
the end of the year. Typically, final
decisions do not change signific
antly from recommended ones.
Jersey leader Covington said he is
95 percent sure the department will
proceed with multiple component
pricing.
