Farmers Turn Their Backs on Dairy
He isn’t alone. A number of dairy farmers are turning their backs on the industry. Fellow farmer Cornell Kasbergen told ABC, “you’re better off putting your money into trees… almonds, pistachios, grapes. There’s a lot of alternatives that provide a higher return than milking cows.”In the past, the California Ag Network and Dairy Herd Management have recommended that farmers diversify into growing almonds. In 2017, the CEO of the Almond Board of California, Richard Waycott, told Food Navigator that almond production is predicted to rise to 3 billion lbs by 2021.
Across the pond, in the UK, dairy farmers are also leaving the trade. According to new research, one dairy farmer exits the industry every week.
