Milk Can Would Tower Over Washington Monument
The Blue Valley Creamery Institute claims that all milk produced in the United States last year could fill a cylindrical can 1000 feet in diameter and 2009 feet tall. It would hold about 11.93 billion gallons valued at 2.566 billion dollars, with daily milkings from 24.675 million cows. If emptied, the can would form a river 5 feet deep and 20 feet wide extending 3775 miles.

European Cows Yield More Milk
The Blue Valley Creamery Institute notes that despite US herds dropping from 28.7 million in 1920 to 24.7 million in 1924, milk output kept pace with consumption due to better feeding and breeding. US average per cow is 3 627 pounds, with purebreds reaching six to seven times that, while US per person milk production rose about 60 pounds annually over 25 years.

Record Poultry Surplus Forecast as 1924 Figures Hit
A Blue Valley Creamery survey cites USDA estimates placing U S farm chicken stock at 474,000,000 on January 1, 1924. The 12 percent rise from 1923 and 82 percent since 1920 sparked expectations of an oversupply, yet spring conditions and prices limited actual market arrivals and December 1 inventories showed 16,000,000 pounds more dressed poultry than a year earlier.
