Few farmers will question the value of skim
milk.in feeding pigs, calves or chickens. With
supplements so scarce, it becomes still more
profitable to keep that skim milk right on the
farip and sell the cream to The Page Dairy
Co. We always pay the highest price and our
truck picks up the cream right at the farm.
