This value is the opportunity cost per hundred weight of reduced milk tnarket ings in 1991. The breakeven marketing adjustment is found by dividing line A by line F. Enter the result on line G. This amount determines how much milk should be mark eted above 1990’s production level to justify an increase in milk production. In the cull example, the breakeven adjustment is 59 hundredweights. The dairy farm should market at least 59 hundred weights more milk in 1991 than in 1990 to justify increased produc tion. If milk marketings will not increase by at least 59 hundred weights, then it would be more profitable to market at 1990’s level automatic aps farm Xm-T systems fill M 608 Evergreen Rd.
