Dairying Gains Favor Amid Falling Beef Prices and Grain Uncertainty
The article argues dairy farming offers reliability and potential profit as beef and pork prices fall and grain incomes waver. It notes dairy prosperity often accompanies well-kept farms, water, roads, and labor, but stresses that successful dairying requires substantial means and established improvements, with many farmers moving from grain and wool to milk production only after resting crops and building capacity. It traces dairy commercial growth from central New York to Ohio, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Iowa, where early dairying relied on stock and grasses, ample water, and milker labor to reach profitability.
