Dairy Des Moines Milk Supply Uses 2500 Cows Daily
Des Moines requires over 20 000 quarts of milk daily to feed the city about half a pint per person. More than 2500 cows are milked twice daily, with nearly 1200 owned by local dairymen who bring milk to town in their own wagons. Over sixty wagons and 200 horses deliver milk around the city, using three to four horses per wagon. Dairy workers include over 100 milkers near Des Moines and many more caring for cows fed to creameries. Milk prices recently rose from 6 to 6 1/4 cents per quart, likely to eight and one third, due to tighter supply rather than farmer collusion.
