Butter Production in Montana Falls in Early 1931
Montana butter output dropped over 9 percent in the first half of 1931 versus 1930 as hot dry weather and low butter fat prices pressured dairy production. Nationally, butter and cheese stocks contracted by 17 to 20 million pounds while per capita consumption rose on cheap prices. Thrailkill cites unsettled markets and expects oleomargarine usage decline to help prompt an advance soon.
