Dairy Owners In This Region Facing Threat
Eastern Kansas dairy farmers face deeper economic troubles as many small and less efficient operators received a lower price for milk last month. Shawnee Milk Producers Association figures show a typical price of 3.73 per hundredweight, about 31 cents a gallon, well below March levels of 4.47. Lawrence’s Howard Hurwitz notes a 3.95 per hundredweight pay rate after deductions and bulk delivery premium. The shift reflects a long running trend toward larger farms and mergers, with producer numbers dropping in Shawnee County and across the Greater Kansas City marketing area. Rankin of Shawnee reports weather and market forces worsening conditions, predicting more closings and casualties.
