The dispute involved the Tillamook County Creamery association and Tilla m o o k Fluid Milk Shippers associa tion as defendants and the Tillamook Cheese and Dairy association as plaintiffs. At issue was ownership of distribution and processing fa cilities, control o shipments of about 100,000 pounds of milk daily and responsibility for paying costs of the opera tion. Combs ruled the TCDA is autonomous and can conduct its grade A fluid milk busi ness without interference from the other two associa tions. Not Holding Company The court also found that the creamery association is not a holding company and may not dictate the policies and management of TCDA ex cept where it is clearly spell ed out in contracts; that the creamery association is en titled to sell the Grade A milk produced by members of the TCDA under a marketing agreement of 1950, but that it must make an accounting of the proceeds from milk sales and that the marketing agreement does not give the creamery association the right to loan funds belonging to TCDA, although it has the right to negotiate such loans with customers subject to ap proval of the TCDA directors.
