Description
This study evaluates the economics of hiring labor on large modern dairy
farms and considers how competitive dairying can be with nonfarm jobs for
the same available labor-competitive as to wages, hours worked, and time off.
Specifically the objectives are to determine:
• what the operator of a modern dairy farm could pay a man under varying
milk price and production levels,
• the circumstances in which a dairy farm operator can utilize full-time
labor, year-round, and
• the effect of full-time labor working 40-hour weeks on modern dairy
farms and receiving paid vacations.
