Milk output in United States climbs to new high
The Agriculture Department notes milk production surged in the second half of 1952 and into 1953, reaching 124 billion pounds in early 1953 and about 116 billion later that year. Four recent months show a 130 billion pound annual rate, suggesting this year could top 121 billion pounds from 1952. Despite a 15 percent price support cut in April, production is not expected to drop. Dairy experts cite pasture and forage improvements boosting yields, even as prices weaken.
