Great Milk Shortage Faces State Citizens
Alabama faces its worst milk shortage as production lags while demand rises. Alabama dairy expert C E Teague notes weekly milk imports to Birmingham from Minnesota and Wisconsin average 55,000 gallons, with Alabama cities following in shipments. He urges home production, better feed and management to resist manufactured milk prices. Rain may help pastures but cold weather will slow growth, delaying relief. Cattle and hog producers pursue year end market goals.
