Milk hauling costs cut farm to plant miles and saves
University of Wisconsin researchers Frank Groves and H L Cook report that hauling costs for milk average 18.5 cents per hundred pounds in cans and 15 cents in bulk at the farm, with total plant charges around 23 and 18 cents respectively. They note truck expenses near 12 cents and 9.5 cents, plus driver pay, leaving slim profits. Savings may come from fewer duplicate miles and shipping to nearest plant, with a Farm Field Day on July 11 at the Arlington Experimental Farm offering answers.
