Penn State Extension has released a mobile app, "DairyCents," for dairy farmers to easily calculate their income over feed cost (milk income per cow per day, minus feed cost per cow per day).
DairyCents, available for download on Android devices and iPhones since August 2012, has about 1,000 registered users in all 50 states. The app also allows farmers to enter feed prices into a national database so they can compare their costs to what others are paying. A second-generation DairyCents app, funded in part through NIFA's Mid-Atlantic Water Program, is scheduled for release this spring and will include information to help farmers keep their operations environmentally friendly.
