Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the origins, effectiveness, and shortcomings of various cream sampling practices prevalent in early 20th century creameries. The author's comprehensive analyses, based on data collected from a year-long experiment at the University of Illinois Creamery, challenge the reliability of established testing and sampling methods. Through meticulous comparisons and statistical analysis, the book reveals wide variations in butterfat determination between individual cream samples and composite samples, which were used as the basis for payments to farmers. The author emphasizes the influence of seasonal factors, such as evaporation in summer and unknown forces in winter, on the accuracy of composite samples. The book delves into the complexities of creamery testing, highlighting the need for precise and consistent practices. It advocates for individual sample testing as the most accurate method and acknowledges the practical limitations of other systems. By examining the nuances of cream sampling, this book not only provides valuable insights into historical creamery practices but also underscores the importance of accurate testing in ensuring fair compensation to dairy farmers.
