Two-Dollar Bills Emphasize Iowa Dairy Industry
Residents in Tripoli and across Iowa note a surge of two-dollar bills, known as Lucky Dairy Dollars, circulated by dairy processors to highlight the dairy industry’s economic role. John Brockway leads a state advisory committee with Quist Barker Mason and Hansen to have about a third of Iowa dairy income—roughly 39 million dollars monthly—paid in these bills during June Dairy Month, with retailers and businesses expected to quickly pass them along. The plan aims to showcase dairying’s importance to Iowa’s economy, aligning with figures from 1950: butter valued at 140 million dollars and milk at 82.2 million dollars in retail value.
