Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the complex and evolving world of milk transportation in the early to mid-20th century. The author examines the St. Louis milkshed as a case study, tracing the shift from rail-based transport to the dominance of motor trucks. This shift was driven by the need for more efficient and cost-effective transportation, which impacted the livelihoods of farmers and the structure of the dairy industry. The book delves into the economic considerations driving these changes, analyzing hauling rates, truck operating costs, and the distribution of income within the supply chain. The author reveals the challenges presented by uneven seasonal milk production, the impact of varying road conditions, and the need for better record-keeping to ensure fair pricing for both farmers and truckers. This insightful study reveals the challenges and opportunities facing the dairy industry in a time of technological change and economic instability, offering valuable insights into the evolving relationship between producers, consumers, and transportation systems. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
