He cites county milk averages from Wisconsin and other states, DHIA participation, break-even 40 pounds per cow, and how feeding, milking, and breeding changes affect output within months to years.

Farmers told feed key to production gains at dairy seminar
Garit Tenpas, director of the UW Marshfield Experimental Farm, urged dairymen to raise forage quality and tailor feed to production to cut costs. He reiterated using high moisture corn, total mixed rations, proper vitamins, non-protein nitrogen, and efficient manure recycling, noting a cow should produce more value than feed cost.
