USDA Proposes Butter
Grade Standard Changes
The U.S. Department of
Agriculture is proposing a
change in its quality grade
standards for butter to allow a
“very slight whey flavor” in U.S.
Grade A butter.
A whey flavor can result when
whey cream is used in making
butter. Whey cream is butterfat
which is separated from whey—a
product which in turn has been
separated from milk during
cheesemaking.
Changes in cheesemaking
technology and production
practices have made it possible
to produce high quality whey
cream. This quality of whey
cream, when blended with suf
ficient quantity of high quality
sweet cream, produces a butter
flavor as good as other butter
flavors that are presently ac
ceptable for Grade A butter,
according to USDA stan
dardization specialists.
Use of this quality of whey
cream in butter would not lower
the general quality of U.S. Grade
A butter, specialists said. Any
butter containing more than the
long-standing committee that
developed the “Supervised Oc
cupational Experience Record
Book,” and served on the com
mittee for the proficiency awards
program of the FFA.
He is the author of two books
used in high school teaching of
agricultural education. The first
is entitled “Approved Practices
in Beautifying the Home
Grounds,” published by the In
terstate Printers and Publishers
of Danville, HI. The second book,
published by the same printer, is
entitled “Handbook of
Agricultural Occupations.”
He taught at Petersburg High *
School in Huntingdon County,
Chambersburg High School, and
Hollidaysburg High School. He
joined the Penn State faculty in
1950. His degrees were all con
ferred by Penn State.
LIMING PAYS and BAKER’S
LIMESTONE
pays off
Mr Jp
Liming pays off in healthier soil,
better crops, stronger and more
productive animals. In fact, it has
been estimated that each $1 in
vested in limestone returns from $3
to $lO in bigger and better yields.
Baker’s agricultural limestone pays
off best because it does more. It
sweetens soil to reduce acidity and
raise pH level, and it also adds vital
magnesium. Both are important to
make sure that your crops can make
full use of the fertilizers you apply.
Take care of your land, and your
land will take care of you. Choose
the brand of Baker’s agricultural
limestone that meets your needs.
