Wisconsin's milk production continues to grow by leaps and bounds. New figures from the U-S-D-A show that the Badger State raised its output by more than three times the national increase in May. Wisconsin cows pumped out two-and-a-half billion pounds of milk last month, four-point-four percent more than the same month a year ago. The state remains second in milk production behind California, where a massive drought continues to hurt dairy producers. The Golden State made two-point-nine percent less milk in May, at three-point-six billion pounds. California's dairy herd remained steady, but its output per cow dropped by 60 pounds to two-thousand-50 per animal. Wisconsin added nine-thousand cows in May, making its new total one-million 278-thousand.
