Abstract: Excerpts from the report: This report, as were related studies, is intended to provide criteria for an improved basis of pricing surplus graded milk. The specific aim is to ascertain costs of processing and marketing cottage cheese and frozen desserts -- ice cream, ice milk, and related products -- in Federally regulated fluid milk plants. Such information serves at least three other purposes: (1) The data furnish bases from which net returns can be determined; plant managers in the South Central area will be able to appraise the profitability of these products in their own operations, (2) The data show the relation of ingredient costs, particularly surplus milk, to total product costs (3) The data indicate variations in costs among plants.
