Monitor dairy industry trends

The trends affecting the dairy industry over the past several decades are highlighted in an annual summary compiled by the National Milk Producers Federation.

NMPF’s “2003 — Dairy Producer Highlights” is a compilation of nearly 100 charts and tables, most of it derived from USDA statistics, illustrating the changes that the industry has been experiencing.

“2003 – Dairy Producer Highlights” is available at $5 per copy for NMPF members, and $10 for non-members. If interested, send an e-mail to highlights@nmpf.org to request an order form.
