Dairy Science

Dairy farming is the leading agricultural industry in Frederick County. During 2008, our 119 dairy farms were home to 15,000 cows that produced 276 million pounds of milk. That is equivalent to about 6.5 glasses of milk per Frederick County resident every day. That may sound like a lot of milk, but Maryland is a milk deficit state, producing just one glass of milk per person per day.

Stan Fultz, Frederick County Dairy Science Agent, teaches various programs to help farming families make the best choices for their businesses. Programs include: Milkers' Schools, Management Intensive Grazing, Farm Business Management, Animal Comfort, Pasture Walks, and more. For more information on dairy programs at the University of Maryland Extension, Frederick County Office, contact Stan Fultz.

Stan Fultz is available for one-on-one farm consultations on topics such as, but not limited to: farm financial management, milking management, replacements, facilities, labor relations, cropping systems, grazing systems, and estate planning by calling 301-600-3578 or e-mail sfultz@umd.edu
