of farms, not the number of pro- 

 ducers. In all, information was ob- 

 tained from 120 plants (including 31 

 with bulk assembly), 332 truckers, 

 and 1,650 dairy farms. 



The majority of dairy farms in 

 Maine, New Hampshire, and Ver- 

 mont were still shipping their milk in 



cans and the following discussion ill- 

 ustrates certain of their characteris- 

 tics, plans and attitudes towards the 

 adoption of bulk tanks. This is fol- 

 lowed by a discussion of producers 

 who have already converted to tanks, 

 their experiences, and their produc- 

 tion plans.
