Clyde Rutherford reported that
Dairylea markets 5 billion pounds
of milk with 2,700 dairy farms. He
said that a week ago, there were
more people in the Superdome
watching the Superbowl “than
there are dairy farmers in the U.S.”
The cooperative members are
enjoying a better milk check for a
combination of reasons: better
price, lower input costs, and for
ward contracting. A downside to
making money in dairying has
been the exorbitant feed costs.
Earl Dehmey. milk sanitarian
with the cooperative, said that the
cooperative received a 91 overall
score in 1996 from the U.S. Public
Health Rating. “We appreciate
your efforts to keep the standards
high,” he told the producers.
Top 10 Producers woe named.
They are Brubaker Farms (Luke,
