Production Up Cow Numbers On Decline
The Milk Producers Review notes farm cow numbers continue to fall though the rate slows. Maryland sees a 3 percent regional decline, yet October milk output rises per cow to 76 pounds while statewide production reaches 129 million pounds. Nationally, production approximates last year but lags the 1962-66 average, with consumption up and prices stabilizing. Farmer Allen B Bryant proposes a three herd combined system to cut costs, though cooperative farming may reduce independence.
