Surplus Dairy Piles Up Amid Market Shortage Pressure

Government buys dairy stock to curb price rises
Purchases totaling 118 million dollars with old stocks valued at 44.9 million are stored across dairy belts from New York to Minnesota. The government covers storage costs while butter price rules rise by fractions of a cent per pound over six to twelve months. Dried milk and cheese storage extend indefinitely, butter stored properly lasts. Markets favor carload buys through creameries and cheese factories, with prices aimed at keeping farmer milk and fat payments near parity. The 1950 outlook anticipates continued heavy government purchases amid an open winter and higher milk yields.
