Abstract

Loyal Durand Jr.* Dairy farming in the southeastern United States is oriented principally to its markets for fluid whole milk in the cities, towns and villages of the region. The dairy formers sell whole milk directly to processors (the city distributors) or sell through a cooperative organization. Milk bottlers and distributors market the various milk products--milk, skim milk, cream, half and half, chocolate milk, and others--and manufacture ice cream and cottage cheese (really a curd) from the daily or seasonal surplus. The ubiquitous ice cream and cottage cheese are associated with the urban milk companies and are produced at or near the market, not at the source of the raw material. The major manufactured products--butter; cheese; evaporated, condensed and powdered milk--are made in the regions where dairying is intensive and there is surplus whole milk to support industry. The fact that dairying in the South is oriented mainly to the urban de mand, and is generally adjusted to it, results in but small surpluses for manufacturing. Only in one large region of the South and in three smaller ones is there enough continuous production of milk above the regional needs to support dairy manufacturing plants.
