Executive Summary This report summarizes the financial and production records of 141 dairy farms from throughout Michigan. To be included, the farms must have produced at least 50 percent of gross cash farm income from milk and dairy animal sales. The farms in this report were located throughout Michigan. The records came from Michigan State University’s Telfarm/MicroTel project, the Farm Credit Service system, or by AgriSolutions in Michigan. The values were pooled into averages for reporting purposes. The farms are larger than would be the average of all dairy farms in Michigan. Farm records checked for accuracy. While considerable variation in the data exist, average values are reported in the summary tables and discussion that follows. In 2003, the average dairy farm in the business analysis had 196 cows producing an average of 20,638 pounds of milk per cow (Table 1). Milk price, based on gross income, averaged $12.59/cwt. Table 1.

Net farm income is the return to operator unpaid management, labor and capital invested. Net farm income in 2003 averaged $57,519. This average somewhat obscures a very large range of net farm income values. For example, the farms in the top 25 percent of the net farm income distribution averaged $119,553 while those in the bottom 25 percent had -$18,545. The 2003 average is more in line with the 2000 and 2001 values. Gross cash farm income averaged $695,048 in 2003. The largest component of these revenues were milk sales which averaged $543,847. Average total cash expenses and average cash farm income were essentially the same as 2002. One improvement over 2002 was the positive inventory changed which was over $20,000 higher in 2003. Table 2.

To put the profit values in perspective, we calculate profitability ratios. Rate of return on assets (ROA) is the farm operating profit (equal to net farm income plus interest expense less value of operator labor and management) divided by average total farm asset value (valued at current market value). Rate of return on assets is a measure of how much profit the farm business assets generated. The average 2003 dairy farm ROA (Market) was 4.3 percent which was improved over 2002 but still far below 2000 and 2001. Return on equity tells a similar story. Operating profit margin is the operating profit (as defined in ROA above) divided by gross revenues. Operating profit margin measures the dollars of profit generated per dollar of revenue. In 2003, Michigan dairy farms generated 14.9 cents of profit per dollar of revenue. Asset turnover is the gross farm revenues divided by average asset value. Asset turnover measures the efficiency with which farm assets generate revenue. This value declined slightly in 2003 to an average of 29 percent.

Table 3. Average Michigan Dairy Farm Profitability Indicators, 2000-2003 2000 2001 2002 2003 (percent) Rate of return on assets* 7.1 7.6 3.2 4.3 Rate of return on equity 7.1 8.1 2.1 4.1 Operating profit margin 21.4 22.3 11.0 14.9 Asset turnover rate* 33.3 33.9 29.3 29.0 * Assets valued at market value (rather than cost). Tables 4 and 5 display average income and expenses per hundredweight (cwt.) of milk and per cow. Income and expenses were adjusted to an accrual basis where detailed financial information was provided. Average, accrual adjusted income and expenses per cropped acre are also included. Income items related to the dairy herd are included in the first section. Government payments includes all farm government payments—not just those related to the dairy herd. It was not possible to separate crop payments from dairy payments. Given the low milk prices in 2003, a large portion of government payments were likely in the form of the Milk Income Loss Contract (MILC). Table 4 contains the average income and expense items across all 141 dairy farms in the 2003 summary while Table 5 displays the average income and expense items for farms that reported that item. For example, all farms had milk income so that income is identical in the tables. In contrast, only some farms reported BST expense so that item is larger when averaged only across those farms with that expense. By reporting the income and expense items averaged two ways in the tables, it allows for comparison of individual items with farms that had that item. These tables should not be interpreted as an estimate of the true cost of producing milk. All farm sales are not included in the income items—only those that are related to the milking herd. Also, unpaid factors, including labor, management and capital, are not accounted for in the expense items. In addition, the allocation of resources amongst farm enterprises is not accurately reflected leaving the milking herd as the residual claimant on all expenses (especially labor costs). The bottom of Tables 4 and 5 presents crop related expenses divided by the total cropped acres. To accurately calculate a crop cost of production requires labor and management (among other) expenses that were not separated out in the financial records.

For example, all dairy farms had milk income but only some reported BST expense. Thus, milk income is the same as in Table 4 while BST is $0.32/cwt across farms with that expense compared to $0.03/cwt across all farms.

Results by Herd Size To further facilitate financial comparisons and benchmarking, the financial summaries were divided into herd size categories. The smallest size category, 22 to 99 cows, includes 40 herds. The medium size category, 100 to 249 cows, includes 66 herds. The largest size category, 250 or more cows, contains the remaining 35 herds. Table 6 displays some average characteristics by herd size category. As expected, average milk production per cow is correlated with herd size across the size categories. Milk price is slightly higher for the medium and large herds. The smallest herds operated 6.7 crop acres per cow; the medium herds about 4.3 acres/cow; and the largest category about 3.2 acres/cow. Table 6.

Table 7 is the average farm income statement by herd size. Net farm income represents the returns to unpaid factors (e.g., labor). The smallest farms returned $17,185; the medium farms $56,947; and the largest farms $104,692.

Table 8 compares profitability measures across herd size with assets valued at market value. ROA was highest on the largest farms in 2003. The largest farms realized the largest average operating profit margin and also the largest average asset turnover rate.
