The Agriculture Department plans 50 million pounds of butter for free distribution to the needy, following a cheese giveaway that will exceed 220 million pounds and cost about 320 million dollars. Officials say states, including Wisconsin, will coordinate with regional offices, as stockpiles of dairy products remain large.
First load of the season for every American. For states that respond quickly to the federal offer, free butter could be given away as early as this month. A pilot in Waterloo Iowa distributed 153,000 pounds to low income residents at 92 sites across a 10 county area. The cheese program will continue, with 1.3 million pounds planned for late June. Wisconsin distribution is unsettled, while Iowa and other states prepare to extend the program to include honey turkey oats and peanut butter. County agencies will handle most cheese and butter distributions with sites listed across Eau Claire Trempealeau and other counties. The plan aims to provide nearly $75 million of donated foods to needy families.
