Abstract
We examine U.S. dairy farmer adopter characteristics and adoption rates of eleven technologies. Excepting grazing, technologies were generally adopted complementarily. Four were used on higher percentages of farms in 2005 than 2000. The interaction of farm size with adoption suggests greater percentages of milk being produced under each, excepting grazing.Technically Complementary, Technology, Management Practices, Production System, Farm Management, Livestock Production/Industries, Production Economics,
