This paper develops the hypothesis that modern dairy cooperatives are able to generate a sizable surplus which is not the conventional producer's surplus. Besides examining the relevance of this surplus to the problem of two‐axis pricing of milk, the author also discusses, in some detail, the impact of this surplus on the economics of a typical feeder balancing dairy.
