Dairy producers have had some legitimate reasons to be glum about the state of the dairy industry. But that’s not the case for nearly half of the producers who participated in the recent 2024 State of the Dairy Industry survey, sponsored by Farm Journal.
Forty-three percent of the 210 respondents – producers whose cowherds range from 100 to 20,000 head – report they are “very optimistic” about the future of dairy.
Just as encouraging, the survey indicated nearly 70% of respondents had profits in the past five years, according to Karen Bohnert, editor and editorial director for Dairy Herd Management.
