Dairy costs climb as feed and milk prices strain farms
Lisa Marshall of Clemson Extension notes rising corn and wheat costs push daily cow feed to about $6 per head, about $600 for 100 cows. Dairy farmers currently sell milk at roughly $2.50 per gallon, squeezing profits and threatening solvency across the industry. She says milk could reach $5 by summer, though she cannot predict the outcome.
