In 1960 the county had 10,900 cows yielding 58.8 million pounds of milk valued at 2.26 million dollars while 1978 saw 3,100 cows producing 36.7 million pounds for 3.5 million. The land shifts to highways, housing, and industry may boost or harm the economy. best farmland, especially Kaw River Valley, is at risk as development progresses.
