Uream Station
Receipts Show. A
Steady Increase
MORE THAN $100.00 > PAID TO
FARMERS EACH WEEK AT
LOCAL STATION
V
County Agent Rogers states that
the amount of butterfat received
at the local cream station has been
steadily increasing since mid-sum
mer.
For over a month the station has
paid out an average of over $100.00
each week for surplus cream pro
duced on an average of 60 farms.
Last Saturday, slightly over 500
pounds of butterfat brought 70 pat
rons a total of $130.00, or an aver
age of $1.85 each. However, this
does not represent the total cream
sales for the county, as many far
mers produce sufficient volume,
and find it more convenient, to
ship to nearby creameries. Neither
does this represent the total value
of products of cream producers.
They utilize the skim milk at home
to feed calves, hogs and poultry.
The cream station receives cream
each Saturday morning. The test
is made there and the farmer paid
for his butterfat. Mr. Rogers also
says that the price of butterfat is
not as low in, comparison as most
other if^&m products, and that the
farmer who has home grown feed
to market through home grown
cows is in position to materially
supplement his financial income.
He also does not have to wait un
til “fall,” but gets a small amount
of cash each week.
