Struggling
dairy farmers who flocked to an expo in Wisconsin last month hoped to
hear some encouragement from one of their own — Agriculture Secretary
Sonny Perdue, a Georgia agri-businessman whose dad had run a small farm.But

nearly two dairy farms a day last year — remarked that small farms would
not likely survive as the “big get bigger and small go out.”
