Dairy Farms Decline Deepens Nationwide
The Agriculture Department predicts further declines in milk producing farms with small and sideline operations vanishing while large farms rise. Milk output per hour and per cow improve due to tech advances, as many inputs replace farm labor. Prices paid by farmers may ease by year end amid higher supplies and dairy product competition. Creamery butter output fell 8 percent to 1.322 billion pounds last year, the lowest since 1952, due to margarine rise and cheese demand.
