Dairy shifts raise Stokes County dairy income
County agent K. B. Stokes notes dairy farming has changed since 1940. Milk sales rose modestly with 1946 to 1948 showing only slight headcount gains, while butter and cream output grew. County farmers earn about $125,000 yearly from milk, with butter, cream, and bee products pushing gross dairy earnings past $200,000. Farmers improve cattle, pastures, and grain quality.
