Financial Performance of Specialized Dairy Farms
Specialized dairy farms--those with at least 50 percent of their production from dairy products and with at least $40,000 in total production--fared somewhat better in 1985 than did other U.S. farms. Midsized dairy farms with sales of $100,000 to $499,999 were especially sound in that they had the h...
