Milk Usage Across the Nation Reveals Dairy Dependence
The Blue Valley Creamery Institute cites Department of Agriculture data showing dairy products account for twenty percent of food dollars. About 45.5 percent of milk production is used as liquid milk, with per person consumption near 50 gallons yearly, up eight gallons since 1917. Butter intake rises to about 16.5 pounds per person annually, while cheese sits under 87 pounds per person. Condensed milk usage has more than doubled since 1920 to 12.69 pounds per person, and condensed milk plants absorbed 3.5 percent of production. Ice cream mirrors this share, calves use 4.2 percent, and roughly 3 percent is lost or wasted.
