5 Facts About Dairy Farming

1

Approximately 97% of dairy farms in the world are family-owned and operated. This means that dairy farms are often passed down generationally and stay within the family.

2

Dairy farms rank among the highest in energy consumption globally in the agricultural industry.

3

Ventilation, refrigeration, and milking systems consume the most energy on a dairy farm with refrigeration consuming up to 30% to 40% of the total electricity on the farm.

4

The average dairy farm consumes 800 to 1,200 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity per month.

5

Global milk prices can fluctuate greatly, making it difficult for farmers to cover their operational costs when prices are low.

Happy Cows Produce More Milk

Keeping your cows comfortable and happy can help them produce more milk, giving you more product to sell and boosting your dairy farm profit. With solar energy, you can effectively run your HVAC and ventilation without adding stress to your finances. Whether it’s keeping your cows cool during the summer or warm during winter, you no longer need to worry about spikes in your energy bills.
