Butter Output Shifts Across Iowa Regions and Prices Narrow

The northwest Iowa counties rose from 62 to 66 million pounds in 1929 and then 65 million last year, while the 25 northeast counties climbed from 72 to 77 million and then to just over 80 million in 1930. Farmer prices for butterfat stay higher in the north, but gap shrinks in 1930 due to quality premiums and lower overruns. Southern erenamery conditions show slight improvement. An Atchison Globe report cites a Canadian observer remarking Americans overestimate Canada’s success in farming, business, and liquor regulation.
