Butterfat subsidy rate raised by war food administration
The War Food Administration announced an uptick in butterfat payments to encourage butter production as milk marketing remains high but butter output falls to multiyear lows. Effective April 1, producer subsidy for whole milk will drop 35 cents per hundred pounds while butter fat payments rise by 10 cents per pound. The change aims to curb shifts to fluid milk and evaporated or dried dairy products and to spur butter production in major Midwest butter regions. Dairy interests argue a further 6-cent rise per pound in butter price is needed for meaningful output gains.
