It was stepped up 5 cents each year, reaching a level of 35 cents in 1948. The order provided for a deduction of 40 cents per hundredweight in 1949 and in subsequent years. But testimony of producers indicated that the 40-cent rate would be too severe and rigid in view of lower producer prices The amendment of September 1949 provided a formula which relates the rate of deduction to the general level of milk prices. There was a wider seasonal variation in prices to producers for milk in Louisville under the Louisville plan than in Cincinnati and St. Louis under different pricing plans. Of the three markets, Louisville made the greatest progress toward even seasonal production. From 1950 through 19 52 the fall-spring ratios of daily delivery of milk per producer in the Louisville area ranged from 80 to 82 percent as compared with 73 to 76 percent for the years 1941 through 1943. This higher fall production level was attained under fall pasture conditions varying from extreme drought to excellent.
