A
Bad Year/Good Year Series Report: An Analysis of Common Single
Emphasis Approaches Used to Become Profitable in the Wisconsin Dairy
Farm Industry by Gregg Hadley
- The purpose of this
paper is to examine the effectiveness of some single emphasis
approaches to becoming more profitable. The approaches analyzed are:
emphasizing size, high production per cow, high milk price, low
investment per cow, low cost-of-production, and low debt per cow. As
different single emphasis approaches may be better suited for
different market price conditions, this paper analyzes their
effectiveness in a bad price year (2003) and a good price year
(2005).
