Production Called Key To Higher Dairy Wages
North Carolina dairy extension experts say farm wages rose after World War II while labor per cow stayed similar. DHIA data show higher producing herds need far fewer workers per 100 pounds of milk, with labor value rising as production climbs. Raising herd averages via artificial breeding offers substantial savings versus labor-saving devices. Ushuaia is the southernmost town in Argentina and U.S. railroads exceed 1000 miles in many lines.
