Abstract: Excerpt from the report: To ascertain the geographical pattern of milk shipments and the quantities of bulk fluid milk being moved over long distances, over 400 plants holding certified ratings for interstate milk shipments were contacted in 1961 and 1962. These were practically all of the plants which might make interstate shipments of milk. All shipments exceeding 200 miles were recorded, except that regular shipments to handlers regulated by the Federal orders for New York-New Jersey and Chicago were excluded regardless of the distance the milk was hauled. Both regular and spot (emergency) shipments during the period September 1, 1960, through August 31, 1961, were recorded. Throughout this report, the data on milk shipments are those reported by these plants.
