South Georgia as a Dairy In Cochran Journal Outline
In a talk with Mr Roland Turner, Southern Railway Agricultural Agent, the Cochran Journal reports strong dairy potential for Blackey County. With about 1,200 farms and five cows per farm, 6,000 cows could yield 2 gallons milk daily and 400 pounds butterfat yearly, equating to roughly $696,000, surpassing last year’s cotton value. Manure and skim milk byproducts would enrich land and support expanded dairies and creameries.
