Milk Production At Record Level In Early 1950
U S Department of Agriculture data show first quarter 1950 milk output at 17.7 billion pounds for January and February, up about 4 percent from 1949. The annual rate for Jan-Feb was about 123 billion pounds, suggesting total 1950 production could top 1949’s 119.1 billion pounds and perhaps reach the 121.5 billion pound 1945 record. Increased output stems from more cows, higher per cow production via concentrates, and better breeding. By early March spring pastures aided the south, while the north relied on concentrates amid hay shortages and cold.
