Milk Output Climbs in February
WASHINGTON - Mar 16/04 - SNS -- Milk production rose 1.7% in February to an estimated 11.8 billion pounds in the 20 major producing States, according to the latest numbers from the USDA.
However, adjusting production for the additional day due to the leap year causes February milk production to be down 1.8% on a per day basis. January revised production, at 12.5 billion pounds, was down 1.0% from January 2003. The January revision represented a decrease of 11 million pounds from last month's preliminary production estimate.
Production per cow in the 20 major States averaged 1,531 pounds for February, 42 pounds above February 2003.
The number of milk cows on farms in the 20 major States was 7.72 million head, 91,000 head less than February 2003, but 4,000 head more than January 2004.
