With an improved All-Milk price and lower commodity prices compared to much of last year, dairy farmers’ pocketbooks are feeling less squeezed in 2024. That looks to continue as USDA projects that both corn & soybean production will be up.
About us
On January 23, 1885, William Dempster Hoard wrote his issue of a "journal devoted to dairy farming." Today the insert has grown to be the dairy industry's leading dairy publication, Hoard's Dairyman. The publication helps readers run their businesses more effectively, because Hoard's Dairyman operates a dairy farm themselves and writes about their experiences. The farm is home to the largest and longest continually registered Guernsey herd in the United States. The farm expanded, and added Jerseys in late 2009 and robotic milking units in 2019.

Farms have a signature kind of cow they send to market. Some farms do a great job of marketing healthy cows in great shape. Other farms have missed that opportunity. https://lnkd.in/g6CfSKfK
