The organization's stated purpose was "to conduct a general creamery products service upon the cooperative plan, in order to assist the cooperative creameries of Minnesota," especially through advising on creamery management, improving the quality of butter, and assisting with advertisement and sale of dairy products in general. It became Land O'Lakes Creameries in 1926.

This was one of several state mobilization committees created by the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture in the early 1950s to gather local responses to national farm policy during the Korean and Cold War eras. County committees, which reported to the state committee, also were formed and held regular meetings. Membership in the state committees appears to have been local USDA employees, county and state extension agents, state Agriculture Dept. officials, newspaper agricultural reporters, and others interested in farm issues.

The minutes of July 27, 1953, contain a motion to change the name of the committee to "Department of Agriculture Advisory Committee," which more accurately describes its purpose.

From the description of Minnesota Agricultural Mobilization Committee minutes, 1951 Jul.-1953 Jul. (Unknown). WorldCat record id: 122414989
