Maximize Dairy Profit and Output by
Maximizing Digestible Forage Fiber Input
Milk prices are down and putting a squeeze between the dairy and the concentrate purchased to maintain milk production. One advantage of being around for a long time (when we milked mammoths) is that we have seen this before. It doesn’t make it any more pleasant. The early 1980’s were very hard times with many farms not making it. We had a repeat scenario in 2014 when grain prices went through the roof. We are seeing a version of this again in 2024. Ironically the breakthrough we had in early 2000 is still viable today.
