. MILK COLLECTION
1. Each kolkhoz farmer who owned cattle was required to giv yearly 100 quarts of milk
per cow to the government. If the farmer did not have the required 100 quarts
he had to buy whatever amount was short. The milk furnished by the farmer
or kolkhoz member had to measure at least 34 in butter fat. If it was less,
more milk was demanded to make up the difference.
2. The area about Kiev was divided into districts as follows:
.)4
'Pt

3. All milk was delivered to the separator punkts between four and five am. After
separation it would go to the pasteurizing punkt for an initial pastevrizing and then
on to the Kiev dairy. There wasa requirement of 3.&e. butter fat for milk.
4. Forty liter cans and some motor milk tanks were used in transporting the milk. If located
on a railroad the railroad would be used. Deliveries arrived at the Kiev plant between
seven and nim. am,
5. If a kolkhoz member was located too far away from the separator punkt for effective
collection, it was permissible for him to make butter at his farm and deliver it to
the punkt. Each kilogram of butter gl pound g gave the kolkhoznik credit for 19
quarts of milk.
6. If a farmer was not a member of a kolkhoz he had to give over 150 quarts of milk per
cow per year. There were about 100 such non-kolkhozniks around Kiev in 1940.
7. Post office employees, teachers, small government officials and a few other privileged
people who owned one or more cows as a side line were exempt from the collection.
8. The remuneration for the milk was a few kopecks per quart. I do not recall the amount
but it was very small.
MILK PROCESSING
9. The Kiev dairy, and there was only one, pasteurized the milk a second time after it was
delivered. The dairy handled between 80 and 90 tons of milk daily; that is between
950 to one thousand quarts per ton or 80 to 90 thousand quarts. In addition to pasteur-
ized milk, chocolate milk, ice cream, sweet cheeses, sour cream and sour milks were
produced. No butter was made in Kiev.
MILK DISUIBUTION
10. All of the milk processed by the Kiev dairy was consumed in Kiev. The special govern-
ment stores foi Party Ambers received a priority on milk, special cheeses, chocolate
milk and sour milks. The smaller stores throughout the city, small government stores
for the workers and special co-opt 'would receive their milk each mornine around
nine or 10 am, It was sold out quickly.
11. There were no 171,,,m? deliveries with the exception of certain cases. These cases came
about through speciel friendships formed with non-kolkhoz members such as the
small government wurker Who owned one or two cows and was exempt from contributing
to the government. Sixth ''farmers" would sell raw milk to their friends and deliver
it to their homes.
