Jim Goodman is an organic dairy farmer from Wonewoc, Wis.After 40 years of dairy farming, I sold my herd of cows this summer. Dairy farming is little more than hard work and possible economic suicide. A grass-based organic dairy farm bought my cows. Unlike many dairy farmers, I didn’t retire bankrupt. This year, Wisconsin, where I live, had lost 382 dairy farms by August; last year, the number at the same point was 283.
