According to wikipedia.org, dairy farming is;
“A class of agriculture for the long-term production of milk, which is processed (either on the farm or at a dairy plant, either of which may be called a dairy) for an eventual sale of a dairy product.”
A dairy farmer is someone who owns or manages a farm where cows are raised for the production of milk and other dairy products. These farmers are involved in a wide range of activities for the purpose of increasing milk production. Milk which is produced on these farms is sold commercially to regional dairy companies for pasteurization and processing
Maintenance is also a major concern for farmers. The majority of dairy farms are subject to government regulations and have to maintain a certain level of cleanliness to ensure a smooth operation. This work typically involves keeping farm buildings clean and free from clutter, as well as properly maintaining the milking equipment
Dairy farmers have increased interest in multiyear red clover–ryegrass ley pasture swards because of their high productivity and protein concentration but the adoption of such mixtures has been restricted because of poor persistency of many red clover cultivars currently used.
