Wisconsin cows prove richer dairy revenue than Georgia cotton
A Georgia vs Wisconsin dairy comparison shows Wisconsin earned about $290.9 million from 2,000,000 cows last year, nearly three times Georgia's cotton revenue. Georgia has 243,000 milking cows valued at $36 each, while Wisconsin cows average $74. Wisconsin’s advantage lies in superior cattle through breeding and testing programs, not climate or markets. The piece notes Georgia’s budding farm mindset and hints beef imports, urging dairy focus for better profit.
