High input costs and interest rates have apparently not slowed the rate of expansion for dairy farms.
Dale Mitte with MSA Engineering tells Brownfield 2023 has been a busy year for new buildings, feed storage, and manure handling construction. “It seems like since January and early February, there’s been just an increase in guys that want to expand or make a new facility.”
Mitte says the expansion is most noticeable on dairy farms, even with low milk prices.
