* Milk Cost figures will change every month to reflect the most recent Announcement of Class I Milk Price and Advanced Pricing Factors issued by USDA's Federal Milk Marketing Order One, which is applied to the Maine Milk Commission's Minimum Pricing Order formula and milk pricing deliberations at the monthly public hearings. To create an example for this rule, the Class I milk price for September 2024 was used to calculate the Milk Cost and the 2.5% Rate of Return on Milk Cost presented in this chart, which is also reflected in the Into Store Cost total. The use of italics in the chart for these numbers further identifies them as subject to change in accordance with the monthly Class I price changes.
