Wisconsin Farmer Expands Profits Without Extra Acres
A Wisconsin dairy farmer boosted income by upgrading cattle, improving barn conditions, and changing crops to corn and alfalfa. He replaced scrub cows with grades and purebreds, improved sanitation, and adopted a corn alfalfa system that yields more feed per acre. Milk quality and price rose, and net income doubled from milk and purebred cattle. The study suggests other dairy farmers with high milk prices and low-grade herds can imitate this approach with proper cattle care.
