Abstract
The number of farms with dairy herds in north-central Iowa has decreased sharply over the last decade. Whereas the majority of farms previously had dairy herds, many fewer now have them. This report is concerned with the competitive position of dairying on farms which now have small herds of 8-14 cows. It explores adjustment opportunities and appraises the possibilities of improving net incomes on northcentral Iowa farms where dairying is an enterprise but not the basis of farm organization and where milk is sold on a grade B basis.
