More Dairies Needed in the South
A Department of Agriculture pamphlet argues southern dairy profits suffer from neglect and poor practices. It links $14 million annual leakage to outside markets, calls for cleaner handling, stricter inspection, and local dairy expansion to boost supply, cut costs, and improve public health.
Southern milk market shows room for improvement
The report argues southern milk and market production can rise with better cow selection, labor economy, and cheaper home grown feed, plus stronger sanitary inspection. It notes low per capita milk and cream use in the south due to indifference, small quantities, supply concerns, and a large black population. Education of producers and an adequate, clean milk supply could boost consumption. Farmers' Bulletin No. 40, prepared by Haw, Durtean, Stewart, and Whitaker, is available from the Department of Agriculture.
