Dairy Industry
Contributes Much To
Farm Income
Dairying is the greatest single
source of farm income in America.
One out of every five dollars in
cash receipts from farm products
comes from dairying. The dairy
industry utilizes milk production
from 17 mitlion cows on more
than a million of the nation's
farms. The milk is processed in
approximately 35,000 dairy plants
and the equivatent of 60 bitlion
quarts, in the form of fluid milk
and its products, is distributed an-
nually to the nation's consumers.
Sates of mitk and dairy cattle for
beef purposes in 1959 amounted
to more than $6% billions and
represented 19.9 per cent of all
cash farm receipts for that year.
The dairy industry is essentia!
because milk is nature's most
nearly perfect food and the na-
tion's favorite. Nutritionally,
milk and mitk products provide
from 20 to 25 per cent of the es-
sential food nutrients for only
18-18 per cent of the food budget.
Dairy plants are marvels of en-
gineering efficiency. Processing Is
done under the most exacting
sanitary conditions in order to
give consumers food of the high-
est quality .Besides gleaming stain-
less steel plant equipment, the
dairy industry is a regular cus-
tomer for hundreds of miltions of
dollars worth of all types of pro-
cessing equipment, containers,
ftavorings, chemicals, trucks, con-
veyors, electric motors, office
equipment, machinery and sup-
plies plus hundreds of other pro-
ducts.
Consumers should take advan-
tage of opportunities offered
during Dairy Month to learn more
about the nation's great dairy in-
dustry. Everyone shoutd visit a
local dairy farm and a processing
plant for that look behind the
scenes at an industry which con-
tributes so much to our welt-
being.
