The report notes many farms fail to track costs, leading to hidden losses. better producers exceed 7,000 pounds per cow and cull below-standard animals. Costs are broken down into feed, labor, and other expenses with a milk price of 3.03 dollars per hundredweight, 16 cents below the cost of production.
