	Dairy Farming - MSN Encarta
		Under the present system, dairy farming is not confined to any season; during the winter, cows are fed succulent fodder in the form of silage, in addition to liberal rations of grain and grain by-products, often in the form of commercially-prepared feed.
		The number of dairy cows (that is, dairy cattle, exclusive of bulls, calves, and heifers) in the United States has shown a fairly constant change in ratio from one cow to every four persons in the population during the late 19th century, to one to every six in the present population.
		Dairy farmers formerly separated the cream and sold it to creameries, but in the 1950s a marked shift occurred from the sale of farm-separated cream to the marketing of whole milk and a coincident increase in the percentage of whole fluid milk consumed.

	Dairy farming at AllExperts
		Dairy farming is a class of agricultural, or more properly, an animal husbandry enterprise, raising female cattle for long-term production of milk, which may be either processed on-site or transported to a dairy for processing and eventual retail sale.
		Small farms needed several people to milk and care for only a few dozen cows, though for many farms these employees were often the sons and daughters of the farm family, giving rise to the term "family farm".
		Centralized dairy farming as we understand it primarily developed around villages and cities, where residents were unable to have cows of their own due to a lack of grazing lands.

		Although the fixed costs are similar for both farms, the variable cost is much higher in farm B than in farm A as a result of labour charges (which involve feeding the cow, cleaning the stable, milking and selling of milk, weeding of fields, etc.).
		This difference is partly as a result of the sale of animal wastes (manure) in farm B whereas none is sold from farm A. A more significant contribution to the differences in income is the daily quantity of milk produced, which is higher (15 litres) in farm B than in farm A (11 litres).

	Bohinj: Museum of alpine dairy farming
		An important turning point in the history of alpine dairy farming at Bohinj was the year 1873 when cooperative cheese-making and making of Swiss cheese were introduced.

		There are exhibited original objects of the interior furnishings of cheese dairies (cheese-making utensils; milk bowls, butter churns), the big vat on a wooden support from the cheese-dairy in the alpine pasture of Blato.

	A New Approach to Dairy Farming That’s“Out of Africa” (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Powell says that about two-thirds of midwestern and northeastern U.S. dairy farmers manage manure through a daily haul system in which herds are fed mostly in confinement and their manure is shuttled out to fields.
		At their research farm in Prairie du Sac, Wisconsin, Powell and Russelle are also studying how much nitrogen from the animals’ manure enters the atmosphere as ammonia gas, potentially harming air quality, and how much leaches below the root zone, threatening groundwater quality.
		But on most farms, they’re kept in designated areas that never change and can become sources of nutrient runoff and leaching.” The corralling approach would move the cows around the farm, preventing nutrient buildup.

		While rising dairy demand is good, the manner in which some organic marketers differentiate their products creates a significant marketing challenge for the industry as a whole.
		For example, organic dairy producers can only feed their animals feedstuffs that have been organically produced and certified, and they may not use antibiotics to treat animals that become ill, except in extreme cases.
		Of course, many of the organic dairy cooperatives will provide assistance during this changeover, but it is a daunting prospect for many dairy producers.
