Decline in Dubuque County Dairy Farms Threatens Top Iowa Ranking
Dale Gaul stands as a rare Dubuque County dairy farmer balancing family life as farms shrink. Between 1999 and 2000 the county lost 58 dairy operations while milk output fell from 44.3 to 39.6 million pounds. Sioux County gains threaten to overtake, driven by larger herds and parlor milking. Experts cite time constraints and quality of life as core factors behind the trend.
