Southern Dairy Farmers' Evaluation of Milk Handlers

摘要

Southern dairy farmers' perception of their cooperative's or proprietaryhandler's performance, level of satisfaction with the milk handler, and the reasons for staying with the handler, or for shifting handlers, were evaluated. The data were from a 1989 mail survey of Southern dairy farmers. The dairy farmers' differing evaluations of their milk handlers depended on the type of handler they dealt with, geographic location, and/or the characteristics of the farm and farmers.
