Class I: (January and February)

Class I Base Price (3.5%) = Higher of advanced Class III or IV pricing factors.

Base Skim Milk Price for Class I = Advanced skim milk pricing factor used to compute the Class I base price.

Base Butterfat Price for Class I = Advanced butterfat pricing factor used to compute the Class I base price.

Class I Price = Class I base price + applicable Class I differential.

Class I Butterfat Price = Base butterfat price for Class I + (applicable Class I differential divided by 100).

Class I: (March to date)

Class I Price = (Class I skim milk price x 0.965) + (Class I butterfat price x 3.5).

Class I Skim Milk Price = Higher of advanced Class III or IV skim milk pricing factors + applicable Class I differential.

Class I Butterfat Price = Advanced butterfat pricing factor+ (applicable Class I differential divided by 100).

Note: Advanced pricing factors are computed using applicable price formulas listed below, except that product price averages are for two weeks.

Class II Price = (Class II skim milk price x 0.965) + (Class II butterfat price x 3.5).

Class II Skim Milk Price = Advanced Class IV skim milk pricing factor + $0.70.

Class II Butterfat Price = Butterfat price + $0.007.

Class II Nonfat Solids Price = Class II skim milk price divided by 9.

Class III Price = (Class III skim milk price x 0.965) + (Butterfat price x 3.5).

Class III Skim Milk Price = (Protein price x 3.1) + (Other solids price x 5.9).

Protein Price (Jan./Feb. Advance Prices only.) = (Cheese price – 0.165) x 1.405.

Protein Price = ((Cheese price – 0.165) x 1.405 + ((((Cheese price – 0.165) x 1.582) - Butterfat price) x 1.28).

Other Solids Price = (Dry whey price – 0.14) divided by 0.968, snubbed at zero.

Class III Butterfat Price (Jan./Feb. Advance Prices only.) = (Cheese price – 0.165) x 1.582.

Butterfat Price = (Butter price – 0.115) divided by 0.82.

Class IV Price = (Class IV skim milk price x 0.965) + (Butterfat price x 3.5).

Class IV Skim Milk Price = Nonfat solids price x 9.

Nonfat Solids Price = Nonfat dry milk price - 0.14

Class IV Butterfat Price (Jan./Feb. Advance Prices only.) = (Butter price - 0.115) divided by 0.82.

Butterfat Price = See Class III.

Somatic Cell Adjustment Rate = Cheese price x 0.0005, rounded to fifth decimal place. Rate is per 1,000 somatic cell count difference from 350,000.
