40 cow dairy in 1992 could make it with very low debt, highly productive soils, and highly productive cows. I just had this conversation with a younger neighbor. I explained while in 1980 15 tons of corn silage along with 5 tons dry hay might be a good yield for our neighborhood there were farms that had a much higher yield of crop output per acre due to soil differences.
