  7. Milk Pricing for Producers • All producers receive the same price for milk components • Payments are based on amount of milk delivered • Three factors differentiate milk payments for producers: • Milk composition (quantity of components) • Milk quality (somatic cells) • Location of producer Source: Dr. Ginder, ISU

  8. Milk Pricing for Producers • For central Iowa, milk producers receive payments based on: • Protein • Butterfat • Other solids • Somatic cells • Producer price differential • The protein, butterfat, and other solids prices come from the Class III prices for each component

  9. Somatic Cell Adjustment • Low somatic cell counts in milk are correlated with • Higher cheese yields • Longer shelf life • Adjustment is based on formula • Cheese price * 0.0005 * (Count – 350) • where Count is the somatic cell count in thousands of cells per milliliter • The lower the count below 350, the higher the payment • Counts above 350 lower payments

  10. Producer Price Differential Pricing factor that captures location impact Based on the value of milk in the marketing order region versus the value of the components using Class III prices Adjusted by the relative difference in the Class I Price Differential by county Can be positive or negative
