Milk Markets Continue Dynamic Trends
By Nelly DiCiccioErath County maintained the number one position for
milk production throughout 2007. Comanche County fell
from the third highest producing county in January of 2007
to the sixth position by December. These two Cross Timbers
counties account for almost 21 percent of all milk produced
in the state. However, Texas' production pattern continues
to show fundamental shifts as more farmers move into
northwestern areas of the state.
Erath County's dairy farmers produced 1.2 billion
pounds of milk during 2007. This value represents losses
of 6.3 percent from 2006 and 3.1 percent from 2005. Erath
County maintained its position as Texas' top milk producer
and accounted for 16.1 percent of the total state output in
December 2007. Erath's decline in milk output was
accompanied by a reduction in the number of dairy
farmers. In January 2007, the County reported 98 dairy
farmers; by December only 90 remained.
Comanche County fell from the third largest producer
in January 2007, to sixth in December. County producers
turned out 475.1 million pounds of milk from January
through December. This value represents a loss of 4.8percent when compared to the 2006 total, and a decline of
4.1 percent from the value posted in 2005. Dairy farmers in
Comanche County produced 6.5 percent of the state's total
output in December 2007. The county's decline in milk
output was also accompanied by a reduction in the number
of dairy farmers. In January 2007, Comanche reported 29
dairy farmers, but by December, only 28 remained.
