Wisconsin dairy trend predicted to push cows south and west
Robert Cropp of the Wisconsin Agri-Business Council says dairy farming will remain competitive and that cows may be milked 10 to 20 years from now. He notes steady farm losses in Wisconsin since 1970 and a regional shift in milk production driven by profitability, price supports, and marketing orders. Investment per cow in the Upper Midwest runs higher than national and Pacific costs.
