Agricultural economists from the University of Wisconsin say about half of Wisconsin's milk production increase from 1949 to 1959 came from reorganizing farms into larger, more productive units. They classify farms into large commercial, average, and small non commercial groups and project output could rise by another 30 percent by 1969 due to reorganizations.
