Abstract: This teaching case enables students to examine basic forces transforming the structure of the dairy industry. A New Mexico family farm faces challenges associated with its large milk production volume. In an environment of rapid but uncertain change, questions regarding future management structure and investment priorities must be answered. The dairy examined is considered representative of the modern dairies of Netherlands lineage operating throughout the southwestern United States. This case does not represent an actual farm, but is a composite of realistic design.
