Abstract: Development of base plans in U.S. milk markets is discussed, as are the history of enabling legislation which provides for Class I base plans in Federal order markets and the extent of Class I base plan implementation in Federal orders. Also examined is the impact of various base plans on milk supply response and their potential as supply control systems. Problems are identified that are likely to arise if base plans are used to control milk supplies effectively.
