T he supply of m ilk produced in
O regon is continuing its dow n
w ard trend, reports S tephen C.
M arks, extension ag ricu ltu ral eco
nom ist at O regon S tate college.
As 1959 passed the half-w ay
m ark, m ilk production in Oregon
trailed th e sam e m onths of last
y e a r by 2 percent and was 7 p e r
cent u n d er the 10-year average,
as found from reports of the U. S
d e p a rtm e n t of agriculture.
P roduction of cheese and b u tte r
in th e sta te dropped at an even
fa ste r rate. However, m ore than
av erag e am ounts of ice cream
m ade in A pril helped hold the to
tal drop in ice cream at th e 2 p e r
cen t level.
C ost of producing m ilk in the
state continued to rise. T he e sti
m ated average cost of producing
grade A m ilk in the W illam ette
valley du ring Ju ly w as 9>A p e r
cent h ig h er than last year.
F arm wage rates in Oregon are
now at a record high. A lfalfa hay
now costs 50 percent m ore than
a y ea r ago, and cost of concen
tra te d feeds used by dairym en are
also higher.
O ver th e nation, the am ount of
m ilk produced the first half of
1959 fell slightly below th aï of
last year. This reflects a contin-
ued reduction in m ilk cow n u m
bers d u rin g the present high level
of beef-cattle prices and less fa v
o rab le d airy pastu re conditions,
M arks explained.
E stim ates on U. S. production of
m an u factu red dairy products th e
first h a lf of this y e a r show cheese,
b u tte r, and dry m ilk o u tp u t dow n
m uch m ore from a y e a r ea rlie r
th a n m ilk output. At the sam e
tim e, national production of ice
cream , sherbet, ice m ilk, and o th
e r frozen d airy products co n tin
ued upw ard.
L ooking at w hat people are e a t
ing, M arks found th a t use of
cheese is holding n ear last y e a r’s
record level, bu t use of b u tte r a p
pears to be slipping some more.
T h e average person is also using
slig h tly m ore fluid w hole m ilk,
and eating 4 percen t m ore ice
cream , ice milk, and sherbet.
