ABSTRACT

Management of a dairy farm involves making decisions related to all phases of the operation consistent with the resources available and the operator's objectives. The changes in United States dairy farming since 1956 are examined. Discussion is grouped by land and buildings, labor, capital, and management techniques. Constraints imposed by legislation are discussed. Trends noted are likely to continue in the coming years.
