Illinois dairy farmers face profit squeeze and milk shortage risk
In northern Illinois and Grays Lake, the Chicago Milk Committee led by Mrs. Wilbur E. Fribley warned that current milk prices of 2.50 per hundred fail to cover costs, forcing farmers to cut wages and incur debt. Testimonies from Harry Averill J A Willard and others urged a price of 3.00 to 3.50 per hundred to restore profit, while diversifying with hogs and butterfat sales. The committee will issue a formal decision soon.
