Milk flows as Trumbull cash crop
One of the backbones of Trumbull County agriculture is our dairy industry. In fact, there are currently 47 Grade A dairy farms here milking a total of 3,100 cows producing nearly 7 million gallons of milk with a wholesale value of more than $12 million. I have always been impressed with the dedication our local dairy farmers have to their businesses. They have a spirit that transcends all reason. Rain, shine, sleet or snow never stops these dedicated individuals from producing high quality milk 365 days a year. These folks are special. I had the opportunity to attend the 92nd annual Trumbull County Holstein Awards Banquet in Cortland. This banquet is a chance for Trumbull County dairy farmers to join together to reflect on the past year and to recognize special achievements. Congratulations to Hallbrook farm owned by the David Hall family for being recognized as the top herd for Trumbull County in 2009.
