Friday Feature: Milk the Co-op Way – Dairy Processing in 1953

by | Jul 31, 2020 | Ag History, Dairy, General Agriculture, Livestock

This week’s featured video comes from the US National Archives to highlight the transition to cooperative milk processing in the 1950s.  The video follows milk from the farm to consumer in Georgia.  The video is just under 14 minutes long, so if you get to the processing part are tempted to stop watching, make sure to check out the last 2-minutes to see the grocery store and home delivery service.  This is just an interesting historic look at the transition to cooperative processing and distribution of dairy products.  Mainly it is fun to look back at what was cutting edge technology 70 years ago.
