With the current economy producing low milk prices and consequently little to no income, more and more dairies are exploring options to add alternative profit sources to cushion their bottom line.
According to Marin Bozic, assistant professor in dairy foods marketing economics at the University of Minnesota, many traditional dairy farms, whose incomes were based almost exclusively on milk and meat, will expand to enterprises with a multitude of revenue streams.
“We already are seeing elements of this conversion on some farms, and innovation will allow more to follow,” he says.
