Abstract

Farm-to-dairy milk assembly in Minnesota has been undergoing major changes. The numbers of dairy farms and dairy plants have declined sharply, necessitating changing patterns of milk assembly. There has been a large shift from cans to bulk. Similarly, there has been a steady change from Grade B milk to Grade A milk (the two grades require separate handling and hauling). Milk trucks and milk hauling technology have changed. Costs of motor fuels and all other -trucking expenses have increased dramatically. These and other changes have had major effects on costs of milk hauling. More than ever, dairy farmers are concerned how assembly costs can be minimized. 36 pages.
