Bulk milk tanks reshape Kansas dairy farming
Roger H. Wilkowske reports bulk milk tanks, milking machines, pipelines, and parlors driving a shift from diversified subsistence farms to specialized commercial dairies in Kansas. By 1964 most Grade A producers used bulk tanks, with sharp adoption in manufacturing milk. Larger tanks and pipeline milking rise, while private can milk declines. The era of bulk tanks is here to stay, with guidance to plan, size, and adopt promptly.
