U. S. May Enter Export Market to Sell Butter
Iowa State College article notes heavy butter production could push the United States back into exporting. After World War I the U S shifted from exporter to importer, with DPMA purchases ending in March 1939 and current prices and tariffs shaping imports. Butterfat profits lag behind meat prices, while oleomargarine demand is affected by low butter prices.
