Cream grading protects quality cream producers in war effort
No pennants or pins are awarded to farmers but good cream producers gain recognition and reward. War Production Board approved cream grading schemes set higher prices for Grade No 1 cream and prevent mixing with Grade No 2. This ensures No 1 cream makes No 1 butter and keeps prices aligned with butter grades.
