Dairy farming links cow herds with cotton in McLennan County rise
The McLennan County dairy push shows milk deliveries to the Borden plant rising from 8,500 pounds on opening day to 44,405 pounds recently. About 1,500 cows supply the plant, with 150 added monthly. 850 local farmers receive cream checks as 40 workers stay employed. Trucks haul 1,000 to 1,500 pounds daily, mud blocks pickups, and improved roads forecast steadier income for farmers. Local experts cite Starkville Mississippi as a model where dairy growth boosted cotton value and dairy revenue.
