Abstract

About 22 percent of the nation's milk is produced by farmers in the Northeast, the 12-State area from Maine through Virginia. Although oriented toward the fluid milk market, these markets have carried large volumes of reserve supplies which are used in manufactured dairy products. Changes in the population, in the level of milk production, and the relative production of different areas result in marked adjustments in the utilization of milk in different products. Changes in sales and utilization are compared with production in the area in 1960, with total milk production in the area, and presented as a percentage of the total Northeast and U.S. production. Counties were described according to certain characteristics affecting milk production and utilization. The counties were then grouped according to similarities and compared. Increasing population and falling milk production near metropolitan areas combine to increase the need for shipping milk into these population centers.
