§ 1049.62 - Computation of producer protein price.

For each month the market administrator shall compute the producer protein price to be paid to all producers for the pounds of protein in their milk, as follows:

(a) Combine into one total the values computed pursuant to § 1049.60, paragraphs (h) and (i), for all handlers who made reports pursuant to § 1049.30 and who made payments pursuant to § 1049.71 for the preceding month;

(b) Add all of the negative adjustments and subtract all of the positive adjustments determined for each producer's somatic cell count pursuant to § 1049.66;

(c) Divide the resulting amount by the total pounds of protein in producer milk; and

(d) Round to the nearest whole cent. The result is the “Producer protein price.”
