income in Pennsylvania is generated by milk sales. Sales
from milk alone represents a $1.46 billion contribution to •
the state's economy. The state's processing plants and
manufacturers add to the value of milk. Last year, 645,000
dairy cows produced 10.6 billion pounds of milk. The state
also ranks second nationally in production of Ice cream (at
66 million gallons) and sixth iri cheese(34B million pounds).
