The Role Of The Dairy Industry In Idaho'S Economy Item Info

Idaho has more dairy cows than all but two western states California and Washington (Gray 1992). From a milk production standpoint, Idaho's milk c w population stood at 178,000 in 1991. This represented an increase of 34,000 cows from 1970, a 24 percent increase- just the opposite from what occurred nationally, with cow numbers decreasing 25 percent over the same period. However, due to significant increases in production per cow, total milk production increased by 98 percent over the same period (Idaho Agricultural Statistics 1991). Cash receipts from milk accounted for 12 percent of all cash proceeds from farm marketings in 1991 (Idaho Agricultural Statistics 1991): Milk receipts surpassed those of wheat in 1984, and milk presently ranks third in the state in terms of income received by farmers.
