Abstract
This document suspends indefinitely certain provisions of the Upper Florida Federal milk marketing order. The suspension removes the standard that a cooperative association operating a plant have at least 50 percent of the producer milk of its members received at pool distributing plants to retain its pool plant status. Florida Dairy Farmers Association, a cooperative association representing producers whose milk is pooled on the 3 Florida orders, requested the suspension. The suspension is necessary to prevent the uneconomical and inefficient movements of milk.
