1979 milk production highest in 14 years
LANCASTER - The U.S.
dairy industry produced
more milk last year than in
any year since 1985. Milk
production in 1979 totaled
approximately 123.6 billion
pounds, up 1.7 percent or 2.0
billion pounds from 1978.
This increase in produc
tion occurred despite
declining numbers of milk
cows. In a trend toward
fewer, more efficient cows
that has continued for
several decades, the
average number of milk
cows in the U.S., at 10,767,000
in 1979, was down 0.7 percent
from 1978.
Increased production per
cow made up the slack.
Production per cow was up
two percent or about 234
pounds in 1979. Each cow in
the U.S. produced an
average of 11,474 pounds of
milk. That’s 1334 gallons, or
a year’s supply of fluid milk
and cream for 40 Americans
-from just one cow.
States with the largest
milk production last year
were: Wisconsin, 21.95
billion pounds; California,
12.55 billion pounds; New
York, 10.68 billion pounds;
Minnesota, 9.15 billion
pounds, and Pennsylvania,
8.06 billion pounds.
Production of many
manufactured dairy
products also increased last
year. There were 2.19 billion
pounds of American type

sumption of butter remained

There were 30 million fewer
pounds of creamed cottage
cheese produced last year,
for a 2.8 percent drop to 847
million pounds. However,

cheese was up 2.6 percent
over 1978, totaling 155
million pounds.

products also declined
overall last year.

Trends for the decade
point to fewer cows, more
milk and cheese.

yearly milk production

reaching a high of 120.0
billion pounds in 1972 and
