The Ohio Farmer reports favorable signs for dairymen as production and consumption edge toward balance. Milk cows dip slightly while per cow output rises, pastures improve, and consumption climbs. 1955 may see modest growth with a smaller dairy surplus and stable retail prices. Consumer buying power is expected to edge up and about 2.7 million more stomachs to feed in 1955.
The report notes a large surplus of whole milk planned for market return, with storage purchases and stock reductions. Government buys account for about 7.4 percent of 1955 milk production, while consumption trends show modest gains and a drop in production costs forecasts for April.
Farmers who lower costs through efficiency are likely to reduce input expenses again, potentially keeping overall costs below last year. Those adopting more efficient methods will contribute a growing share to the milk supply.
