June- Is Dairy Month
GUEST EDITORIAL

AGRU'ULTl KAL KXTKNSION A(.KNT
MADISON I'Ol'NT Y
June has been celebrated as dairy month since
1937. It was selected because at that time the month
of June was the peak production period for milk.
Today scientific progress has made every month as
productive as June. So the month now serves as a
reminder to the housewife to serve nutritious dairy
foods all year long.
Grade A milk is produced commercially in 92 of
North Carolina's 100 counties. Economically North
Carolina's dairy industry : production, districution
and retailing) contributes substantially to the in
come of more than 100,000 citizens. There are 21
Grade A dairies in Madison County. Their gross
income is approximately $1,302,7.
North Carolina's dairymen have a total in
vestment of more than $394,000,000 in land, cows,
buildings, equipment, machinery and supplies, for
the production of Grade A milk.
There are 43 dairy processing plants in the State.
These include 10 ice cream plants; 16 milk plants; 17
combination plants that process milk and
manufacture ice cream, ice milk, cottage cheese,
sour cream, yogurt, etc., one evaporated milk
plant; one cheese plant; and pressurized dairy
products plant. These plants employ about 5,500
.persons and .hava payrolls totalliqg , more than
'$20,000,000 annualry.
Madison County dairy cattle number in excess of
1,800. Nine County herds on DHIA Test average
13 343 rounds of milk per cow, per year. Dr. R. C.
Wells, North Carolina State University specialist,
reports the net cost of producing milk varied widely
from farm to farm in North Carolina during 1971.
About 24 per cent of the farms had production costs
of less than $6 cwt; 10 per cent in the $6 to $6.49 cwt;
13 per cent in the $6.50 to $6.99 range; 19 per cent in
the $7 to $7.49 range and 34 per cent had production
cost in excess of $7.50 per hundred pounds.
Pound for pound milk is the best food buy. A gallon
of milk weighs 4.3 pounds and sells in stores and on
delivery routes for an average of 65 cents in North
Carolina. This is about 15 cents per pound with all
the Drotein. carbohydrates, fats, calcium, vitamins
and minerals in it. Where else could consumers
obtain such a food bargain? The scientific com
munity generally agrees it is Nature's Most Perfect
Food.
