Abstract

A transshipment model of the U.S. dairy industry is constructed to determine the cost of seasonally disparate supply and demand for dairy products. Price incentive/disincentive plans are related to the magnitude of industry-wide savings that could be realized if uniform patterns of production are achieved.
