摘要：During the first year of the Northeast Interstate Dairy Compact, milk production inthe six New England states increased by about 57 million pounds, or about 1.3% ofproduction compared to the 12 months prior to the Compact. Increases in milkproduction were largest in Connecticut (31 million pounds) and Vermont (21 millionpounds), whereas Maine and New Hampshire experienced increases of less than 10million pounds. Production in Massachusetts and Rhode Island declined by 9 million and0.4 million pounds, respectively. Because the rate of increase for New England waslarger than the US average, the Compact Commission incurred obligations to the CCC forpurchases of dairy products.
