File:Western Oregon dairy farm (3718587160).jpg

English: Image Description: “Western Oregon has one of the finest dairy sections of the world. Tillamook cheese and Coos County butter are almost as famous as Hood River Apples.

The report of the State Dairy and food commissioner for 1935 shows that 219,408 patrons furnished cream or milk to creameries, cheese factories, milk condenseries and cottage cheese factories. The amount of butter fat used by creameries was over thirty-one million pounds.
It is an interesting fact that while there has been a decided decrease in the number of dairy cows in Oregon since 1920 there has been a large increase in the amount of butter and cheese produced.”
