Dairying in Calhoun County Drives Rapid Local Growth
Calhoun County Alabama dairy farming expands from 60 to 100 milk producers on a route started June 1946. By 1950 there are 87 grade A dairies with modern barns while grade B routes shrink. County agents credit good cows, grazing based feed, and an artificial breeding program at Auburn for the surge, with White Plains highlighted as a growth example.
