Dairy Profitability Study

Dairy Profitability Study

The Dairy Profitability Study was undertaken to reveal the differences which affect dairy profits between top performing dairy farms and the average dairy farms within a group of about 600 Pennsylvania dairy farms.

The measurement of dairy profit used is 'Net Margin per CWT'. The Net Margin is the result of Accrued Revenue less all Accrued Expenses including Economic Depreciation and a Management Owner Labor charge. Inventory changes for feed and livestock are also taken into account when calculating dairy profit.
