biggest dairy farms in us
The other dairy I visited is called Fair Oaks Farms. Owned by nine families, it is located near an interstate highway that bisects flat corn, alfalfa, and soybean fields in Indiana. Fair Oaks is one of the largest dairy farms in the United States. It houses 30,000 cows and produces enough milk to slake the thirst of the entire city of Chicago, which is located 75 miles to the north.
1 In the state of North Dakota, there are about 100 licensed dairy herds. 2  The size of the dairy farming industry in North Dakota makes it the 35th largest milk-producing state in the United States.  Dairy farming on North Dakota dairy farms produced approximately 38 million gallons of milk in 2014.
