No 277640, Staff Reports from United States Department of Agriculture, Economic Research Service

Abstract: Older dairy farmers with small-size farms have less financial debt than do younger dairy farmers and dairy farmers with large-size farms. In 1979, dairy farmers were financially strongest in the Northeast and weakest in the West and South Central regions. This study examines the financial characteristics of dairy farmers by region, operator's age, and dairy size.
