Notes
  • The dairying industry of the Los Angeles Basin is one of the most heavily capitalized agricultural industries in the world today. Land values for dairying purposes are commonly about $20,000 per acre and may reach as high as $90,000 per acre. The investment per cow, exclusive of land, usually averages about $ 1 ,000 per animal. The herds usually number more than 200 cows per farm on land holdings of about fifteen acres each. Finally, these metropolitan dairies produce milk at a retail price lower than that of the highly-praised West Coast Marine dairying· areas farther north, or most metropolitan areas of America's agricultural hinterland.
