Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1790, about 90% of Vermonters lived on and earned at least part of their livelihood from farming. In 2009, about 1% of the state's population lived on Vermont's 1,050 dairy farms. As historians have noted, America was born in the country and has moved to the city. By our breakfast, dairy farmers have put in half a day's work. By noon, many have logged an eight-hour day. By nightfall, they have often added another eight-hour day. Given the long hours, the toll on the body, and the scant economic returns, why would anyone want to be a family farmer today? Forty-Six Years, in documenting the farming lives of Larry and Grayson Wyman and their Weybridge farm, addresses that question. Farming, the Wymans would answer, is for those who value the rhythm and routine of the seasons and the diversity of each day's challenges, for those who accept that farming is a difficult way to make a living but steadfastly believe that it can be a fulfilling way of life. -- taken from back cover.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Due to the restructuring and trend toward consolidation that has been taking place in the dairy industry for the past several decades; the number of dairy farms in the U.S. has been steadily declining. Smaller dairy farms have been disappearing at a disproportionate rate. At the same time, demand for organic milk has been consistently rising. There is some evidence to suggest that organic dairy may be a viable economic alternative for dairy farmers, but there is little empirical evidence to verify such claims. This study analyzed the financial performance of U.S. organic dairy farms in comparison to conventional dairy farms in the Northeast, highlighted significant structural differences between profitable and unprofitable organic dairy farms, and examined the factors affecting dairy farm profitability in the Northeast. This study shows that organic dairy farms in the Northeast were profitable and that small organic dairy farms were more economically viable than small conventional dairy farms. It was found that farm size, organic milk price, production efficiency, extra income in addition to milk sales, operator's age and expectations regarding the future of the dairy enterprise, and production efficiency had a positive correlation with organic dairy farm profitability. Factors that had a negative influence on organic dairy farm profitability were variable costs per cow, the debt-to-asset ratio of the farm, the average age of the milking herd, family farm status, the hours per day the milking system was in operation, and the choice to dry off milk cows seasonally. The results suggest that transitioning to certified organic status is an economically viable alternative for small conventional dairy farms in the Northeast.

Download or read book Milk Money written by Kirk Kardashian and published by UPNE. This book was released on 2012 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Retail milk prices have stayed the same while milk prices paid to farmers have plummeted. The dairy business is at the heart of the culture and economy of Vermont and many other states. Kirk Kardashian asks whether it is right that family farmers in America should toil so hard, produce a food so wholesome and so popular, and still lose money. His investigation uncovers the hidden forces behind dairy farm consolidation and asks why milk -- a staple commodity subject to both government oversight and industry collusion -- has proven so tricky to stabilize. Meanwhile, every year we continue to lose scores of small dairy farms.
