A Younger Breed of Dairy Farmers Dedicated To Increased Production
The dairy industry shifts to larger, more efficient units as production per farm rises. Fewer farms dominate milk sales with about 600,000 farms in 1964 from 1,017,000 in 1959.

Cow Feeds and Water Use in Dairy Production
A dairy cow producing 11,000 pounds of milk yearly consumes about 43 tons of fuel including 8,825 pounds of grain and protein feed, 4,700 pounds of hay, 3,400 pounds of silage, and 75,045 pounds of water. Daily intake averages 237 pounds, with 10 tons of blood produced to yield 40 pounds of daily milk. For 50 cows, the herd uses about 1,850 tons annually, prompting milking systems to replace manual labor.
