USDA says March milk production in the U.S. was down last month.
Production in the 24 major dairy states totaled 18.8 billion pounds, down nine-tenths of a percent from March of 2023.
Production per cow averaged 2,115 pounds in March, down three pounds from last March. The number of cows in the 24 major producing states was down 71,000 head from year ago at 8.88 million head. That’s also 7,000 fewer milk cows than in February.
