New England Dairying Seen Staying Family Operated
A Hood Dairy Foundation report argues New England dairies will stay family owned as technology boosts output. Production could rise to 550000 pounds per man per year with one worker overseeing cows, lifting per-household income above poverty. By 1975 about half of today’s farms may fold, but top 25 percent remain profitable for family farms like that of John J. Broderick in Great Barrington.
