MILK PRODUCTION SOARS,
PRICES COME DOWN
The valley’s own particular
lesson in economics was well
demonstrated last week, follow
ing the national pattern, when
officials of the Matanuska Val
ley Farmer’s Co-operating Asso
ciation announced a drop in the
price of milk to farmers, almost
simultaneously with a second
announcement of record-break
ing milk production for the
month of June, 1949.
During June, the Valley’s 33
dairy farmers who all sell Grade
A milk to the MVFCA, brought
a total of 336,842 pounds of milk
to market. This figure was the
high point of dairy production
for the Matanuska Valley, ac
cording to Co-op records.
Victor Falk, Sr., was top man
in the Valley’s top industry. He
sold a total of 28,217 pounds of
milk in June.
The peak of the milk produc
tion is reached in June, and July
figures are expected to decline
slightly from June records.
Effective July 1, the dairymen
began receiving a cutback price
of $9 per hundredweight for
their milk. This price is paid on
milk testing 4% butter fat.
Poultry men also established
a new record for eggs sent to
market in June. During that
month 5,829 dozen eggs were
handled by the Co-op’s egg de
partment. For those eggs, the 53
poultry men received a price of
95 cents a dozen for extra large,
90 cents a dozen for large, and 80
cents a dozen for medium eggs.
