A noted dairy economist warns Madison area dairies face major cuts in five years. He notes about 60 percent of oral dairy farms have vanished in 30 years and predicts roughly half of the state's dairies could disappear, shrinking from about 46 000 to 23 000. Prices may fall short term but rise long term as production tightens.
