Milk in the Georgia and Certain Other Marketing Areas; Recommended Decision and Opportunity To File Written Exceptions on Proposed Amendments to Tentative Marketing Agreement and To Order; Proposed Rule DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

Résumé

This recommended decision would combine five Federal milk order marketing areas with unregulated counties in Arkansas, Georgia, Mississippi, and Tennessee to form the Southeast marketing area. The decision is based on industry proposals to merge the individual marketing areas so as to more equitably divide the markets' proceeds in what essentially has become a single, large market with significantly overlapping sales and procurement areas.
