Milkshed

Milkshed, Milk shed, or Milk-shed, is a region producing milk that may be supplied to the area of demand without spoiling.[1] It is an area geographically demarcated for the collection of milk or milk products. Due to increases in technology the milk shed has grown from 30 mile radius to over 300 miles.[2] Thus, nearly every farm in the Northeastern United States and Northwest Europe are in at least one milkshed.

Origin

The term milkshed originated in America around 1925-1930 on the model of "watershed".[3] The milkshed was created due to the use of railroads as a method of transporting milk around the country.[4]
