Wilson Establishes Exports Embargo Board
President Wilson by executive order creates an exports embargo council to review all foodstuffs leaving the United States for neutral nations. The board includes Secretary Lansing Secretary Bryan Secretary Houston and Herbert Hoover as food administrator. The aim is to feed allies and their armies and to direct exports with licensing rather than prohibition, ensuring supplies reach those most in need while maintaining normal trade where possible. The president notes the council will advise and that exemptions and licensing will control the flow based on war needs.

Cows in full milk require ample water, with research noting consumption rising about 50 percent compared to dry cows. Feeding matters, as only the digestible portion contributes to milk, while excess feed becomes fertilizer. High protein feeds often cost less per nutrient, but protein and feed quality drive milk output.
