If a region is unable to be published for confidentiality reasons, it will be 
combined with other regions when possible.  For example, if North Atlantic 
can not be published, it will be combined with South Atlantic to publish 
Atlantic.  The West North Central and East North Central will be combined, if 
necessary, to form North Central. In the event that neither could be 
published, they may be combined with South Central to publish Central.  Some 
tables will have only limited regions shown, therefore the regions may not 
add to the United States total.

Procedures and Reliability: Estimates included in this report are based on 
data provided each month by manufacturers of these products.  In 32 States, 
the State Departments of Agriculture assist in collection of data, which 
eliminates duplicate reporting and reduces respondent burden.  Data are 
collected by mail, personal and telephone interviews following the close of 
each month.  There were 1,116 manufacturers that made one or more products in 
2008.  Each month, reports are generally received from all dairy plants in 
States with small numbers of plants.  In States with large numbers of plants, 
survey procedures are designed to obtain monthly reports from all large 
plants and from a sample of small plants. Monthly estimates are based upon 
returns from about 70 percent of the plants which account for 70 to 90 
percent of the total production of major dairy products.

Revision Policy: Monthly estimates are subject to revision the month 
following the preliminary estimates.  Annual estimates are published in late 
April in the "Dairy Products Yearly Summary" report which includes any 
revisions made to current and previous year.  An attempt is made to get 
information from all plants for preparing these estimates.
