Iowa butter output falls twelve million pounds
Iowa produced twelve million pounds less butter this year than in 1917 and fifteen million less than 1916 when 97,628,788 pounds were made. High seed costs and labor scarcity hit dairying hardest among farms, but as troops return, labor should rise and costs may fall. Butterfat returns and creamery prices are detailed for Mason City Des Moines Marshalltown and other markets.
