Maryland Dairy Producers Increasing
COLLEGEPARK, Md.—
“Even though the dairy industry
has had a setback in this state,
seven of Maryland’s Piedmont
counties have been able to hold
their own and show an increase in
production recently,” said Dr.
John W. Wysong, cooperative
Extension agricultural economist
with the University of Maryland at
College Park.
Those seven counties —
Frederick, Washington, Carroll.
Baltimore, Harford, Howard and
Montgomery—have increased
their share of the state’s milk pro
duction from 80 to 83 percent
between 1980 and 1994. Wysong
said their continued concentration
on milk production is surprising
because of conversion of farmland
into non-farm areas or non-dairy
farms over the past decade and a
half.
Even though the share of milk
production increased, total milk
output declined slightly from
1.147 billion pounds in 1980 to
1.031 billion pounds in 1994.
Wysong attributed this decline to

1986 and 1987.
Although not considered a
Piedmont county, Garrett County
has expanded production from
1980 to 1994. That county ranked
fourth in total cows and milk
production—behind Frederick,
Washington and Carroll
counties—in 1994, Those top
three counties alone produce 6S
percent of the milk in Maryland.
The upper Eastern Shore,
including Kent, Cecil and Queen
Anne’s counties, is another signif
icant area of milk production in
Maryland. Caroline and Talbot
counties have experienced drops
in milk output over the last IS
years because of urbanization and
the concentration on soybeans,
field com and broiler and egg
production.

tic Market Administrator’s Bulle
tin, Maryland has lost 52 dairy
farms since July 1994. The
remaining farms have increased
the state’s milk production from
95.351.000 pounds in July 1994 to
96.580.000 pounds in July 1995.
Pennsylvania ranks ahead of
Maryland in the Mid-Atlantic reg
ion, producing 333,050,000
pounds of milk in July.
“Because of the Cooperative
Extension Service, the Agricultur
al Experiment Station and the
research and support from the
College of Agriculture and Natur
al Resources, dairy farms have
been able to compete fairly well
and keep the dairy industry promi
nent in Maryland during the past
15 years,” said Wysong. “Gains in
milk production and marketing
efficiencies have enabled Mary
land consumers to attain dairy
products at reasonable retail or
consumer level prices.”
