Iowa butter output drops twelve million pounds this year
Dairy figures show Iowa produced twelve million pounds less butter in 1918 than 1917 and fifteen million less than 1916 when 97,628,788 pounds were made. Experts cite high seed costs and labor shortages, with plans urged to rebuild herds now that war ends and labor returns. Prices for milk and butterfat are improving, with regional quotes around 3.50 to 3.60 per hundredweight for milk and 58 to 70 cents per pound for butterfat at creameries.
