Abstract

Total ten villages were identified and from each village 20 farmers were considered for study. As regards to milk production, it was observed that the age and education of dairy farmers found no significant relationship with milk production, whereas the size of land holding and occupation of the dairy farmers had positive and significant relation with milk production. The matured farmers (46 to 55 years) are having more inclination towards dairy farming than young and older farmer.
