📰 Economy
Terry Entzminger from Jamestown said his farm is reducing dairy operations and switching to crops as North Dakota dairy farms have dropped from over 2,000 to just 21 in the last 40 years due to rising costs and low milk prices — a sign that new investment might renew the industry.
He remains hopeful and continues his work with the North Dakota Livestock Alliance.
