Butter Futures: Government Buys Butter to Support Prices
A special report from Washington describes the USDA program to buy United States Grade A butter at 59 cents and Grade B at 57 cents per pound to shore up milk prices. On Sept. 1 the offers rise to 62 and 60 cents. Stored butter costs about a third of a cent per pound for the first month, with potential profit if purchased earlier and graded A or B after inspection. The program aims to stabilize markets, with inspectors coordinating shipments and college students employed to assist.
