Iowa Dairy Industry Shows Profitable Third of Cows
The Iowa State Dairy Association reports only about one third of 1,400,000 cows are profitable. Of the rest, half are treated as workable assets and half merely cover expenses. 1916 statistics by the Dairy and Food Commissioner show Iowa dairy product values totaling 84,504,565 with major shares from creamery butter and farm dairy butter, market milk, and cheese among others. The association, formed in 1876, has steered education and legislation, including funding since 1909 and plans for an expansion similar to the 1893 West Indian expedition for zoological specimens at the state university museums.
