Milk Production Slips in February
WASHINGTON - Mar 16/01 - STAT -- February saw a massive 4.3% decline in milk production in the United States to 11.2 billion pounds, according to the latest output data compiled by the USDA.
Most of the decline is due to an extra day of production in February 2000, because of leap year.
Adjusting production for the additional day would put February 2001 milk production down 0.9% from last year.
January revised production, at 12.1 billion pounds, was down 1.6% from January 2000. The January revision represented a decrease of 0.1% or 11 million pounds from last month's preliminary production estimate.
Production per cow in the 20 major States averaged 1,440 pounds for February, 66 pounds below February 2000.
The number of cows on farms in the 20 major States was 7.77 million head, 7,000 head more than February 2000, but 10,000 head less than January 2001.
