An Inventory of Its Dairy Trade Hearing and Docket Files MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY Minnesota State Archives AGRICULTURE DEPARTMENT An Inventory of Its Dairy Trade Hearing and Docket Files OVERVIEW OF THE RECORDS Agency: Minnesota. Dept. of Agriculture. Series Title: Dairy trade hearing and docket files. Dates: [ca. 1957] – 1976 (bulk 1957-1976). Abstract: Hearing and docket files documenting the department’s role in regulating unfair trade practices in the dairy products industry, particularly the under pricing of products. Quantity: 12.1 cu. ft. (11 boxes and 2 partial boxes). Location: See Detailed Description section for box locations. SCOPE AND CONTENTS OF THE RECORDS In 1961, the administration of the Dairy Industry Unfair Trade Practices Act of 1957 was transferred from the Department of Business Development to the Agriculture Department. The purpose of the law was to stabilize prices on selected dairy products and to prevent unfair trade practices in marketing those products. It required manufacturers, wholesalers, and distributors of milk and selected dairy products to file schedules of prices at which sales would be made wholesale to retailers and governed unfair trade practices, particularly the under pricing of products. The hearings files (ca. 1960s-1976, bulk 1957-1961) consist mainly of hearing transcripts, most often with company employees; while the docket files (ca. 1957-1976) contain transcripts, assorted legal documents, and facilitative correspondence. Mainly dealing with under pricing claims, the files cover wholesalers and retailers statewide and a few in neighboring states. ARRANGEMENT OF THE RECORDS Arranged in two series: a set of numerical hearings files (ca. 1960s – 1964) and a set of docket files (ca. 1957-1976). The latter is divided into alphabetical (ca. 1957-1976) and numerical (1961-1976) subsets. findaids\state\agric014.inv AGRICULTURE DEPARTMENT.
