Field Work Costs Rise in Iowa Farms

Iowa State University specialists report rising farm field work costs over the last two years due to higher skilled labor and repair parts prices, plus maintenance costs for tillage equipment under dry conditions. Farmers increasingly order tractors with power options, closed cabs, and air conditioning, while ISU provides a cost guide and article by Hull, Adrian Hull, and Caldwell.

Milk programs feed schools and families in 1967

More than 6 billion half-pints of milk were consumed by children through the National School Lunch and Special Milk programs in 1967, totaling about 3.5 billion pounds. With other programs the total rose to 7 billion pounds, about 6 percent of U.S. milk production. Dairy outputs included 126 million pounds nonfat dry milk, 124 million pounds butter, and 108 million pounds cheese donated to schools, families, and institutions. The Agriculture Department also supplied CCC stocks for military use, with 30 million pounds butter, 5 million pounds cheese, and 300,000 pounds dry milk in 1967, plus 350 million pounds CCC nonfat dry milk donated for foreign meals and welfare.
