Beaver County Dairymen Plan for Dairy Month in June
Beaver County marks Dairy Month as Grant M Explin notes dairy products promotion boosts sales. Dairying is a million dollar industry with 1952 dairy milk and cattle sales over 21 million, 31 percent of county agriculture. About 276 of 333 farmers own dairy cattle and 3 000 milk cows are two years old or more. Roughly half the milk is Grade A shipped to Las Vegas or Cedar City. the rest to county creameries providing local jobs. National consumption rose 6 billion pounds last year, aided by population growth. lower prices and enhanced promotion lift demand. Milk is health building. if all Americans used recommended amounts, dairy surpluses would vanish.
