      abstract = {This report is a follow up on previous reports for 2011  quarters two, three, and four that use the current USDA  methodology and continues the Vermont and Maine milk COP  estimates previously calculated by the USDA’s ERS.The  methodology used to estimate the milk COP for application  of Public Act 09-229 relies upon the Agricultural Resource  Management Survey (ARMS) to provide an annual milk COP for  Vermont and Maine. This survey, updated every five years by  the USDA, is used as a benchmark to estimate monthly and  annual changes using National Agricultural Statistics  Service (NASS) indices. ERS estimates the 2011 ARMS annual  milk COP for Vermont at $32.61/cwt and for Maine at  $37.45/cwt. Following the USDA methodology, we estimate the  monthly COP for quarter one of 2012 for both states.},
