America’s dairy farms are disappearing, down 95% since the 1970s − milk price rules are one reason why

Summary
Nutrition label

87% Informative

In 1970 , over 648,000 U.S. dairy farms milked cattle.

By 2022 , only 24,470 dairy farms were in operation.

More than 60% of all milk production occurs on farms with more than 2,500 cows.

More efficient farms are able to reduce their costs of production by improving cow health, reproductive performance.

Elizabeth Eckelkamp: Dairy consumption has never been higher, but the way people consume dairy has changed.

She says buying more dairy would drive up the market value of those products and influence the price producers receive for their milk.

The FMMO is currently undergoing reform, which may help stem the tide of dairy farmers exiting, she says.
