He is suggesting that cheese manufacturing plants test the milk for protein and fat and pay producers for cheese milk on the basis of the amount of cheese expected from 100 lbs. of their milk. Multiplying that yield by an established value for the milk raw product in one pound of cheese would give the price received by the producer. Emstrom said the price under this system would more nearly represesnt the true worth of the milk for cheese making than past systems that paid only for volume of milk or present systems. producing kind of milk needed in making cheese?
