World dairy output declines in 1945 third quarter
The third quarter of 1945 saw dairy product output fall in many major producing countries versus the same period last year, with cheese and canned milk dropping in several areas. The United States and Canada buck the trend with seasonally large cheese and canned milk output, while overall postwar levels run about 20 percent below prewar peaks. Domestic commerce projects 1945-46 dairy fat and oil production near 9.4 billion pounds, about the same as the current season and 1.4 billion pounds below the 1943-44 record. Poultry and egg outlook suggests 1946 farm production steady but slightly below 1945 output, with hens and pullets not exceeding January 1, 1945 numbers.

Butter rationing to stay. butter likely last on list
Brisbane authorities say butter will almost certainly be last rationed food item. The present 6 ounces weekly ration may continue into 1947, with only a possible partial restoration of the 2 ounce cut from June 1944. Postwar milk production figures lag behind prewar levels, due to dairy diversion to cheese and processed products, delaying butter recovery and requiring much higher overall milk output for years.
