receipts originated from farms in other markets and 7.9 percent of the
total area production was delivered to out-of-market processing plants.


 Southeast Area,--Dairy farms regularly supplying Southeast Florida
dairy processing plants were located in two areas--Tampa Bay and Central
Florida--in addition to local area counties. Total market supply from
all producers for April and October 1959 amounted to 74,169,000 pounds,
the largest volume of any Florida area.

 Local producer receipts originated in nine of the eleven counties
within the market (Figure 9 ). Total deliveries from these counties were
68,596,000 pounds. Palm Beach and Broward County farms accounted for
more than 48 million pounds--70.0 percent of receipts of local origin and
64.8 percent of total milk supply. The total two-month supply for the
market included 2,253,000 pounds from the Central area (3.0 percent) and
3,320,000 pounds from Tampa Bay farms (4.5 percent). Only 0.5 percent of
local production was shipped to other markets (0.3 and 0.2 percent,
respectively, to Tampa Bay and Central Florida).

 In summary, four areas--Northwest, Central, Tampa Bay and South-
east--received over 90 percent of producer milk supplies from local pro-
ducers in the months of April and October 1959. All of the producer
supplies received at plants in the Northeast were from dairy farms located
in the area. In the Northeast and Central areas, local production of
milk was greater than total producer receipts at plants in the area. The
only market which received milk on a regular basis from producers outside
of Florida was the Northwest area. Producers in Alabama, shipping to
dairy plants in Pensacola, supplied 14.1 percent of the total Northwest
milk receipts in the period.


 Fluid Milk Supplies Originating from
 Out-of-State Sources, April
 and October 1959

 The only marketing area receiving supplies of milk on a regular
basis from out-of-state points of origin was the Northwest area. As
indicated earlier, producers in several counties in Southeast Alabama
held Florida permits and shipped milk to plants in Pensacola. For the
two months combined, deliveries from Alabama producers amounted to
2,922,100 pounds. Data from dairy firms showed receipts of emergency
fluid milk supplies from six states during the months of April and
October 1959, not including shipments from regular producer in Ala-
bama (Table 32).

 Central Florida was the only market which received no supplies
 from out-of-state sources in either month. The largest amount received
 at plants in any milk marketing area was in Northwest Florida. Dairy
 processors in that area received 554,200 pounds, or 42.3 percent of all
 milk shipments originating in other states. This was also the only
