Abstract
Using this planning budget, dairy farmers may estimate their costs and returns for 2023. Table 1 presents estimates for a 150-cow rotational grazing dairy (replacements raised on farm) in Missouri. Assumptions were based on price forecasts as of September 2022. Detailed inputs, feed requirements and investments are summarized in Tables 2, 3 and 4. The production practices used to develop these cost estimates are common for Missouri grazing dairies. Use the “Your estimate” column to plan your operation’s costs and returns for 2023.
