Cows on Cotton Tobacco Farms Profit From Dairy Operatio
Raleigh Sept 17 Farmers in North Carolina can profitably keep five to ten dairy cows on cotton and tobacco farms by using legumes and cottonseed products for feed. Dairy expert John A Arey notes a good cow yields about 600 gallons of milk monthly worth $180 at 50 cents a gallon, plus $20 manure value and $92.80 from butterfat if sold at 40 cents per pound. Skim milk adds $25 for calf, poultry and pig feed. With pasture and labor, many farms can cover expenses and bank cash-crop profits, expanding land use beyond current returns.
