Mike Rogers: “150 less, 150 less out of 1100.”

“There were about 1100 dairy farms, licensed, graded dairy farms at the beginning of 2023. At the end of 2023, there was 150 less. We lost almost 15% of the dairy farms in Michigan in one year. 150 less, 150 less out of 1100. Wow. And what happens to those farms? Are other farms buying. Many of them become crop farms. There's no more cows on those farms. The cows are bought by farms that are expanding.” (46:52–46:57)
