Butter and Cheese Profits From Milk Calculations
Professor Farrington of Wisconsin explains profits from milk by butter or cheese. For 100 pounds of milk, 10 pounds of cheese at 16 cents yields 1.60 plus whey value 0.10, minus at least 0.20 costs leaves about 1.50. Butter from 100 pounds: 4½ pounds at 30 cents equals 1.46 plus 0.20 whey value equals 1.66, minus ~0.16 costs leaves about 1.40. Adjusting prices shows potential receipts per 100 pounds for different factory types.
