Butterfat Deduction Doubled to Meet Bread Spread Competition
Dairy farmers across 42 states unite to boost butterfat deductions aimed at funding advertising and sales in metropolitan markets. Iowa layers a 1-cent per pound deduction for June, with June 1-15 collected by law and paid to the Iowa Dairy Industry Commission, while June 15-30 is voluntary and directed to the Iowa State Dairy Association for the cooperative campaign. A special committee led by Ernest Wright coordinates the voluntary funds, with members from Waterloo, Sibley, Des Moines, Hudson, Independence and West Bend.

He notes grass fed milk can be cheaper than grain rich diets, advises grass first, supplement with hay or silage when pastures run short, and provides figures on fat production costs from different feeds.
