Location of Producers according to Hauling Charges, 1935. (Cents per ton-mile) Producers The producers themselves have necessarily been mentioned previously in connection with the various marketing operations. There are, however, a few details concerning them which should not be omitted in a study of this kind. Part-year producers constituted an average of percent of all producers in 1935, the percentage increasing at the rate of percent and decreasing at percent per month, thus exhibiting no noticeable seasonable fluctuation. Their average daily deliveries, 37 percent less than for full-year producers, were shipped to the market for five and one-half months on the average. These producers were located almost entirely in the section northeast of the city of Worcester â in that area which is highly competitive as far as other markets are concerned.
