In the thumb of Michigan we have had an influx of Dutch farmers coming in and setting up shop with 600 head then 1200 head and now I hear their is a 3600 head facility being built now....the locals were not happy until they started selling feed to them and then they saw it as a new market for their crops. They also employ people for milking , 3 shifts 24-7. now we will see how long they can keep it going. Myself, I bought a cow-share from a local small dairy that is certifed organic,and uses heritage breeds of cows(dutch belted). The milk is raw, un-pasturized, un-homaganized, and simply wonderful. Even though I have cows, I don't milk them because of my work schedule won't allow it, so the 10 percent of the cow fee (one time) and the weekly boarding fee of$12.50 (2.5 gal)is worth it to the wife and I. hopefully more farms will find ways to direct market and diversify, so they can continue for the next generation...
