      abstract = {Our recent meeting provided a factual basis for analysis  of alternative milk policies. We
analyzed the cost of  production on farms, in processing, and in retailing. We  collected and analyzed prices at the retail, wholesale, and  farm level. This exercise gave us a rare glimpse into the  distribution of the price paid by consumers among  retailers, processors, and farmers. No one
at the  conference disputed this factual analysis and the  conclusions that the farmer’s price is too low in relation  to costs, that the retailers net profit margins are  excessive, and that consumers, if
anything, pay too much  for milk in New England. Moreover no one disputed the  conclusion that the New York price gouge law contributes to  lower retail milk prices when raw milk prices are low. Most  conference participants, however, rejected the New York  price gouge law as a policy option for New England because  they had a strong desire to increase farm prices. The New  York law does little for farmers.},
