Milk in the Southwest Plains Marketing Area; Suspension of Certain Provisions of the Order

This document suspends certain provisions of the Southwest Plains Federal milk marketing order (Order 106) from September 1, 1999, through August 31, 2000, or until implementation of Federal order reform. The suspension removes a portion of the supply plant shipping standard and the producer delivery requirement. The action was requested by Kraft Foods, Inc. (Kraft), and is necessary to prevent the uneconomical and inefficient movement of milk and to ensure that producers historically associated with the market will continue to have their milk pooled under Order 106.
