I was driving by the local larger dairy farm and I got to thinking...how do they pencil out?
Local one milks about 650, I assume 3x per day.
They seem to constantly get newer tractors, manure tankers, pay loaders, harvesters, etc...
Not trying to be controversial...I am not a dairy expert by any means...I am just curious...
How much milk does an average cow yield per day?
I know how much milk costs at the store, how much does the dairy get per gallon?
They don't seem to have any side-businesses - hay, custom planting etc... - and employ quite a few people...
We are west of Albany, NY if location figures in.
