Dairying is here to stay in
Maryland for at least another
generation, says Dr. Mark A.
Varner, an Extension dairy
management specialist and
assistant professor of animal
sciences at the University of
Maryland in College Park.
Historically entrenched in close
proximity to an ever-expanding
metropolitan population corridor,
the Maryland dairy enterprise has
established a solid industry sup
port base and enjoys a consumer
market which takes most of its
fresh product at relatively high
Class I prices established by the
federal administrator for the
Middle Atlantic Milk Marketing
Order 4 area.
More than 50 percent of
Maryland’s dairy cattle are
registered purebreds. This is the
highest percentage for any state in
the continental United States. And,

despite urban encroachment, the
concentration of dairy cows per
acre in Maryland is seventh
highest among all 50 states.
There’s still a lot of interest in
dairy fanning among Maryland’s
rural youngsters, Varner ob
served. Maryland 4-H dairy cattle
judging teams have compiled a
record of national championships
over the past half-century which
far surpasses any other state.
This success is due, in part, to
enthusiasm among young people
and the dedication of adult
volunteer 4-H leaders working with
team coaches from the University
of Maryland’s Cooperative Ex
