The Business Of Dairying

Excerpt from The Business of Dairying How to Conduct Dairy Farming, for the Largest Profit IN these days of sharp competition, it is necessary for the dairy farmer to make a close study of his business if he is to succeed. Like the manufacturer, he must know exactly what his products cost him and determine the sources of his profits and losses. In fact, he should make a business proposii tion of the whole farm. We can point to one here and there who has followed this plari with wonder ful success, but the condition of the dairy industry, as seen on the average farm, points to the need of better methods and a more definite knowledge of the business. In no department connected with the farm is there more need for absolute data than in the dairy. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This textbook was developed as a practical curriculum to present the basics of how to care for a modern dairy cow and how to make her more productive. This book is the heart of the teaching in our Dairy as Business School in Gulu, Uganda. This textbook is also the blueprint for the practices and protocols we expect our research farm known as Gulu Uganda Country dairy in Gulu, Uganda to follow every day. It is our intent that this curriculum present a dairy farm as a genuine business operation that to be successful must follow proven dairy cattle protocols and business practices. It was designed to get beyond theory and present the practical steps to a successful dairy farm. Our hope is that this book will challenge you to adopt these principles as you evaluate your dairy farm or consider starting a new one. Information on this training school and research farm can be seen on Facebook at Gulu Uganda Country Dairy.
