Per-Unit Output Key to Low Cost In Dairy Farm
The article argues per unit output lowers costs in dairy farming. It cites Pau Be Newman, a New York milling specialist, noting a cow yielding 5,000 pounds of 3.7 percent butterfat milk yearly consumed $88 in grain and $66 in roughage, with a per-100-pound-milk cost near $6. It compares to a 15,000-pound producer consuming $251 in grain and $97 in roughage to illustrate economies of scale.
