Excerpts: Stabilized conditions under which milk producers could sell their product have been the goal of the dairy industry ever since milk distribution became a highly specialized enterprise upon which dairymen must depend for an outlet to consumers. At first, dairymen tried through their own efforts to reach this goal of a reasonable price and assurance to each producer of his fair share of the market. Then new factors came into the economic picture of the dairy industry. Milk producers realized that their efforts had to be supplemented. Today, State milk control boards and Federal milk marketing agencies operating under the Agricultural Adjustment Act are assisting dairymen in their own steps toward improved selling conditions. The history of present-day milk marketing records the development of milk distributing agencies as an integral part of the dairy industry and reveals the efforts exerted by producers to adjust themselves to the new marketing conditions.
