Problems in the Basic-Surplus Plan in the Philadelphia Milk Shed: A Dissertation in Political Science Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Pennsylvania in Partial Fulfi - Hardcover
Synopsis
How milk price plans shape economics in a major city’s dairy market
Discover how regulation and price plans influence what dairy farmers earn, what consumers pay, and how a legacy market operates. This study examines the Philadelphia milk shed, the rules that govern milk, cream, and butter, and what drives minority opinions about these controls.
The work explains the mix of political decisions and economic forces behind dairy regulation. It focuses on how artificial price plans are designed, tested, and adjusted over time to balance producer income with consumer interests. By analyzing the Philadelphia plan and its effects on supply, demand, and regional trade, the book sheds light on why certain markets lean toward local production while others rely on distant supplies.
Readers will learn about the key mechanics of milk pricing, the role of cream pricing, and how changes in policy can shift where milk is produced and how it is used. The volume also discusses the challenges of making regulation understandable to the public and the reasons for ongoing debate among different groups.
- How fluid milk, cream, and butter prices interact within a regional market
- How the Philadelphia milk plan operates and its historical adjustments
- Why local versus distant cream sources affected local producers and shippers
- How regulatory changes influence producer income, consumer prices, and public opinion
