Can't answer the money questions, but I have been to the Dairy Row farms southeast of Las Cruces NM just off I-10. There are approximately 30,000 cows spread out over about a dozen dairy farms. The economy of scale is amazing with the number of cows, barns, covered large square bales, workers, equipment, etc. I did notice some John Deere 3020 still being used with a gazillion hours on them. There is a lot of irrigated hay in the area, plenty of low cost labor plus an aroma for miles that smoothers everyone in the area, including a small town that is suing 7 of the dairies because of the smell. Read in a article that 4 million pounds of manure is deposited every 24 hrs and has to be spread. Now that is a lot of poo and we haven't even talked about the methane flatulence factor.
