For twelve years dairy farm financial information and enterprise data have been collected from Ohio farms participating in Extension and FBPA programs. These farms use the FINPACK computer program for analysis. This data is also included on a national data base located at the Center of Farm Financial Management , University of Minnesota . The data base is called FINBIN and is found at:
www.cffm.umn.edu. Here is a summary of Ohio data (from 10 to 16 farms per year), for the past five years. More complete details may be found in the Ohio Farm Business Summary 2004 , a copy is located at local Extension offices.
