Pennsylvania has fewer dairy cows and has dropped in total annual milk production since 1986. However, dairy cows in the state are producing more milk, says a dairy specialist in Penn State’s College of Agriculture. The top five states in milk production in 1990 were Wisconsin, Cali fornia, New York, Min nesota and Pennsylva nia. “But it’s possible we could become num ber three during the 19905, because New York and Minnesota have been losing dairy cows faster than Pen nsylvania,” said Dr. Lawrence Specht, pro fessor of dairy science. “In the four years fol lowing 1986, the state lost 51,000 cows,” said Specht “But during the same period, milk pro duction per cow increased by 712 pounds to 178 pounds each year. This trend of more milk per cow probably will continue, perhaps at an increasing rate.” In 1986, the state’s 734,000 dairy cows produced 10.15 billion pounds of milk, or 13,831 pounds per cow. In 1990, the state’s dairy cow population was 683,000 and their total milk production was 9.93 billion pound s, or 14,543 pounds per cow. Despite increases in production per cow, Pennsylvania dropped 220 million pounds in total annual production over the four-year per iod. “Pennsylvania ranked 16th in produc tion per cow in 1987,” Specht said. “In 1988 and 1989 we were 17th, 4-H Achievement Days Winners Named Montgomery; 3 Amanda Carson, Berks.
