§ 1040.12 - Producer.

Producer means any person, other than a producer-handler under any Federal order, who produces milk approved by any duly constituted regulatory agency for fluid consumption in the marketing area, which is moved to a pool plant or diverted pursuant to § 1040.13 from a pool plant to another plant. The term shall include such a person with respect to milk diverted to a pool plant from an other order plant (unless designated for Class III use) during any month in which the quantity diverted is greater than the quantity of milk physically received from such person at the plant from which diverted and such milk is exempt from the pooling provisions of the other order.
