      abstract = {Pricing milk and milk products must accommodate seasonally   variable supply and demand.  The current system of Federal   price supports and Federal milk marketing orders has  evolved from legislation enacted during the 1930’s and  1940’s.  All farm  milk is supported by government  purchasing programs for manufactured products.  Federal and  State milk marketing orders provide additional pricing  mechanisms to the price  support program and cover nearly  all fluid-grade milk produced  in the United States.   Federal orders set minimum prices for raw fluid-grade milk  according to its use that processors must pay to  dairy  farmers or their cooperative.  Federal orders do not  determine how the milk may be used or how much milk is  produced or marketed.},
