Dairy farming important even though number of cows decline
In 1960.1970 and 1980 Kosciusko County was ranked sixth, 10th and seventh respectively in milk producing in the state of Indiana, however since then the state’s dairy industry has changed Dairy farming is still an important part of Indiana agriculture, despite the fact it has undergone some adjustments in the past two decades, a Purdue University agricultural economist said in a review of the state’s dairy industry A rapid rate of decline in cow numbers and the fact that production per cow has not kept up with the national rate have led to a drop in the state’s mU,k production. Robert D. Boynton, an assistant professor in Purdue's Department of Agricultural Economics, said. Boynton also pointed out that rising feed grain prices in recent years have shifted the economic incentive away from dairying At the same time, dairying has become even more geographically concentrated in the state In 1960, Indiana ranked 11th

nationally in total milk production. By 1970. the state had dropped to 13th. and by 1980, Indiana was 16th. In 1960. the state produced 2.6 per cent of the nation's milk supply, but by 1980, its share had dropped to 1.7 per cent. Total production has fallen steadily in Indiana during the 20year period, he said. In fact, 1980's output represented only 70 per cent of the 1960 level. In 1980. Indiana had 201.000 cows. 1.9 per cent of the nation's cow population of 10.8 million. Boynton continued. But cow numbers in Indiana have declined annually since the mid--19408 Although this follows the national pattern, the drop has been more severe in the Hoosier state, he said. From 1960 to 1980. cow numbers declined 38.4 per cent nationally but 53.4 per cent in Indiana. What the future holds for Indiana's dairy industry is uncertain. While not as big a producer as in the past, the state is still 16th in the nation; and that puts it in the top third, Boynton emphasized.
