Butter Production Boom Sweeps California Industry
California butter production is rising after a late 1950s decline. More than 85 million pounds were produced last year, with 21 million pounds in the first three months of 1971 across 18 plants. Factors include diet trends boosting cream supply and higher federal support prices for butter and skim milk powder. A shift to continuous churns speeds output, and most butter is now made from sweet cream.
