Rasmussen also stated that the
producer price differential (PPD)
for May is $3.53 per hundred
weight for milk delivered to
plants located in Suffolk County,
MA. The PPD represents each
producer’s share of the value
generated by the marketwide
pool on a hundredweight basis.
The PPD, which is added to
the payment producers receive
for their milk’s components, is
adjusted for the location of the
receiving plant. The statistical
uniform price and PPD decrease
by scheduled amounts the more
