About Blue Valley
Blue Valley Never Asks Pledges of Patrons-OW Cash
Price Must Hold Them

from their cows and Blue Valley give
them full service, the market we had
created for them must be cash mar
ket. Cash would not only save inter-
est money for the farmers, but make
the farmers dollar buy more, because
cash always buys more than credit.
Looked Like Hard Problem
Making Blue Valley into a cash
market for the cream did look to us
like mighty hard problem, when we
began studying it.
Our capital was very limited and
was all invested in the creamery and
in our dairy campaign. Even if we
could have borrowed enough money to
carry US until we got our money back
from the butter sales, and in that
way pay cash every day, that would
not make Blue Valley service any
better to the farmer. We would sim
ply have to pay interest on that bor-
roWed money and the increased ex-
pense would have to come out of the
butterfat price. In the end, produc-
ing cream would have been no more
profitable to the farmer than it was
when he was paid once month.
Nor could we go to the retailers of
Blue Valley butter and, by offering
them discount, get cash for the but
ter and in that way be able to pay
cash for the cream. That would have
meant lower price for the butter and
consequently lower price for the
cream. The result to the farmer
would have been just the same as in
case we could have borrowed the nee
essary capital.
The fact was that we, like all other
creameries that paid the farmers once
month for their cream and do so to-
day, were doing business largely on
the farmers money. The more we
studied the matter, the keener we
felt that the system was wrong and
that in this one respect Blue Valley
service to the farmers was not up to
Blue Valley ideals. For some time,
we admit, it seemed a problem we
could not solve.
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1923-03-15
Blue Valley a Cash System All Through

every can was a bad thing for the
farmer He would be better off get
ting it all in lump sum once a
month. He would only squander the
many smaller payments. Just as if
the American farmer needs guar
dian!
The increase in patronage that fol-
lowed our cash announcement showed
very clearly and quickly that cash
means something to every farmer. 1t
means to him interest money saved,
greater independence and ability to
buy at a lower price. The cash sys-
tenn has come to be considered one of
the most valuable features of dairy
ing and, of course, Blue Valley COM
petitors long ago have had to follow
Blue Valleys lead as best they
could.
Every Blue Valley creamery pays
cash for every can of cream. The
check is mailed to the shipper the
same day the cream is received. If
ne delivers the cream to the creamery
by team or auto, as small percen-
tage of our present patrons do at
some of our plants, he can get his
check in person at certain hour in
the afternoon, or the next time he
comes in.
He doesn't have to ask for his
check as special favor or accept a
lower price on account of getting cash.
1t is always there for him, in full, as
part of the Blue Valley service.
Getting the Cash to the Farmer
Ever since the first Blue Valley
creamery years ago started paying
cash for the cream, every can of cream
received by every Blue Valley cream
cry has been paid for the same day it
was delivered.
The Blue Valley cream check has
always been as good as gold. Easy
times or hard money times, the banks
have always cashed the Blue Valley
check, small or large. The Blue Val
ley cash system has made good to
every Blue Valley patron, and he
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1923-03-15

six dollars year to him, or fifty
cents every month. That makes the
use of ten dollars in cash worth five
cents month to the farmer.
Consequently, the farmers who sell
their cream to a creamery that fol-
lows the custom of holding up pay
ment of one months cream until the
twentieth day of the next month, lose
a substantial amount Of money in in
tereSt. 1t may not seem much to each
individual farmer by the day or by the
week, but to whole farming COM
munity it means sum of money
greatly worth while in a years time.
Blue Valleys Purpose
Back in 1900 and thereabouts the
farmers needed cash just as much as
they do today. Cash in hand would
relieve them Of borrowing that much
more money and of paying that much
more interest.
Blue Valleys purpose was to make
dairying profitable to the farmers in
the corn belt, at least to the extent
that they would not wholly abandon
the cows for other forms of agriculture
that brought them larger returns. By
rendering that service we hoped to be
paid for our efforts and for the money
invested in the creamery.
That's why we introduced the hand
separator and conducted great cam
paign in that section of the country,
interesting people in dairying-street
parades, band music, meetings, speak
ers, dairy cow and separator demon
strations and special dairy trains.
That's why we opened creamery
equipped to make hand separator
cream into good butter. That's why
we branded the butter and sold it di-
rect to the retailers so as to get a
better price and be able to pay the
farmers better price.
All these Blue Valley methods did
encourage the farmers in the corn
belt to milk and did prevent their
letting the cows go entirely.
We realized soon, however, that if
the farmers were to get full value
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1923-03-15

has never had to take a lower price
to get his cream money at once.
For back of it all is the Blue Valley
system of cash for Blue Valley but
ter. Except in few very exception
al cases, and then only for a very
limited number of days, Blue Valley
gets cash for every pound of Blue
Valley butter sold. When the Blue VAL
ley salesman brings a stack of Blue
Valley package butter from a Blue
Valley refrigerated truck into gro
Gerry store, he gets the money for it
when the butter is in that stores ice
box and before he leaves. If not, the
butter goes right back in the truck.
We know of no farm product and of
no system of marketing that gets the
consumers actual cash right back to
the farmer as quickly as the, Blue
Valley Creamery System does in the
case of cream every day in the year.
Considering the great number Of
Blue Valley patrons, this Blue Valley
Cash System has been and is of
substantial value to agriculture.
1t is part of Blue Valley service to
the patrons of every Blue Valley
creamery.
Farmer Takes no Chances
1t is this service on which Blue
Valley must depend for its patronage.
The farmer takes no chances. He
is not bound to Blue Valley. 1t re-
quires no money outlay on his part,
no investment in factories or distri-
button, no obligation of any kind.
Blue Valley asks no pledges, no con-
tracts, no dues. 1t takes it's own
chances that this cash service it pro-
vides the farmer will be so satisfac-
tory that the farmer will patronize
Blue Valley of his own free WILL.
He has done so in ever increasing
numbers every year for twenty-three
years. That shows better than words
how well the Blue Valley cash sys-
tenn, combined with Blue Valley di-
rect purchase of cream and distribu-
ton of butter, serves him.

pay them a lower price on that &C
count.
Cash Was New Thing
Cash for cream shipped by the farm
er direct to the creamery was brand
new way of doing business in those
days.
Blue Valley was the pioneer in this
as in many other things that have
benefited the farmer. We have told
you in these articles how other plo-
neer work Of Blue Valley was received
with ridicule and scorn. 1t was the
same when Blue Valley announced
that it would pay cash for all cream
and that the check would be mailed to
the patrons the same day the cream
was received.
Again Blue Valley was told it
couldn't be done. Again Blue Valley
was laughed at. Again it was pre-
dicted that this new Blue Valley IN
novation would bankrupt US. Again
well-meaning people shook their
heads. When we explained to them
that we were convinced the farmers
were entitled to cash and that there
fore it should be included in Blue
Valley service, they looked for some
sinister motive on our part. Finding
none. except the true one-that Blue
Valley thought it was good business
for it to give farmers better service
than they had ever had-they dubbed
US "Philanthropic Blue Valley" and
let it go at that.
The reception was much like that
of the announcement of the estab-
ishment of the Blue Valley Sweet
Cream Creamery in Sank Centre
That, too, is new Blue Valley under
taking for the purpose of giving farm
ers who want to use it, better service
than they have ever had before.
A Real Help to Farmers
Of course, other creameries went uI
in the air and did their best to per-
suade the farmers that cash for every
can of cream meant nothing. We ever
heard the argument that cash fol
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1923-03-15

Blue Valley never asks pledges of
farmers to patronize it's creameries.
We depend entirely on our daily cash
prices and service for their continued
patronage.
The system of paying cash for each
delivery Of cream, first introduced by
Blue Valley, has made the farmer in
dependent of any one creamery. In
dependence on. the part of the farmer
means competition among those to
whom he sells cream. Competition
means better prices.
The creamery that pays cash for
each delivery of cream, such as Blue
Valley, must depend on today's cream
price to bring tomorrow's cream. 1t
holds back nothing of the price until
the end of the month or the end of the
year. 1t doesn't pay its patrons part
ly in promise of a bonus at some flu
ture time, if the patrons pledge them
selves to do this or that. There are
no "ifs'' or "whens" in Blue Valley.
1t pays the full price then and there.
Each purchase of cream is a sep
arate and distinct deal, which must be
so satisfactory to the farmer that he
will sell again to Blue Valley.
Farmer is Independent
Blue Valley patrons are entirely in
dependent.
We pay cash for every can of
cream the same day it is delivered.
That closes the deal. We have no
strings on our patrons whatever.
They can quit after one sale, in a
week, month, year, any time.
1t is up to them. They can quit,
sell somewhere else, come back to
Blue Valley-nobody forces them or
tells them where to sell. Every Blue
Valley patron is a free-will patron.
He alone is the Judge.
Blue Valley depends on merit only
to hold and increase it's patronage.
Our Price Must Hold Patronage
Blue Valley never asked a farmer to
pledge himself to sell his cream to US.
We never ask farmers to sign con-
tracts to sell us cream and in that
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1923-03-15

way keep them away from Compel
itors. We are not afraid of Compel
itors.
Our cash price for each can of
cream is the only pledge between our
patrons and Blue Valley. If our cash
price, weight and test are satisfactory
to the farmer, then he sells us his
cream again. If not, he doesn't. He
is at liberty to quit and sell elsewhere
any time and come back any time.
The cash system introduced by Blue
ing it to hustle every day in the
year. 1t can never go to sleep. 1t
can never for a minute let down on
it's efficiency, never for day quit
hustling for a better price for it's
butter, never dictate to it's patrons,
never get into self-satisfied rut as it
could if it held the patrons signed
pledges to patronize it anyway.
1t must always be right up to snuff
on prices, on weights, on tests, on
service, on Accommodations, on courtesy
just like merchants must be up and
doing every day to get the farmers
trade.
Pioneers in Paying Cash for Cream
When the first Blue Valley cream
cry was opened for business in st.
Joseph, Missouri, back in 1900, it paid
for cream once a month. The farm
ers received the money for one
months cream on the tenth day of
the following month.
That was the custom everywhere in
the creamery business. In fact, many
creameries did not pay their patrons
what they had coming for one months
milk or cream until the twentieth of
the following month, and that is still
the custom at many creameries.
1t means that the farmer who sold
his cream to such creamery March LIST
will have to wait fifty days before he
gets his money. The farmer who must
borrow money from his bank pays at
least six per cent interest. That is
the same as saying that the use OF
one hundred dollars in cash is worth

But where there is will there is
always a way.
We knew the retailer paid better
price for Blue Valley package butter,
because the consumer was willing to
pay better price. If we could in
crease the quality of the Blue Valley
butter, so the consumers would like
it still better and pay an additional
cent for it, Blue Valley in turn would
be in position to demand cash from
the retailer without giving him a dis
count, especially if the delivery SER
vice to him was improved. If we
pay our patrons the same price in
cash, that we were then paying them
once month.
That is exactly what we did.
At the time this problem came up
the young Blue Valley Creamery Co
had been running its first creamery
some time, and we had gained con-
siderable experience in making but
ter in large quantities from hand sep
arator cream shipped to the creamery
direct from individual farmers.
By using the experience gained; by
employing to the utmost every i'm
provement in factory facilities and
processes and by exercising minute
care at every step, we did succeed IN
increasing the quality, uniformity and
dependability Of Blue Valley butter
to a degree the consumer took NOTICE
of. We also succeeded in improving
our delivery service to the retailer in
way that suited him better than ev-
er before.
1t was not difficult then to induce
the retailer to pay cash to Blue Valley
without allowing him discount fol-
doing so. Blue Valley package butter
trade was becoming valuable to him
His customers asked for Blue Valley
butter. He had to have it. So ne
paid us cash.
Then we could and did pay our pa.
irons cash for every can OF cream
