NEW YORK: Milk production growth in the US is set to be lower than expected this year, but is set to return to strong growth in 2016, according to latest dairy forecasts by the USDA.
It says milk production for 2016 is forecast to be 2.4% higher as improved forage availability and moderate feed costs are expected to support gains in milk per cow.
The USDA also forecasts that cow numbers will also be slightly higher in 2016. This growth will take annual production to 94.1 billion litres.
