Louisiana’s got milk because the LSU AgCenter supports a research program that helps keep the Louisiana dairy industry alive and thriving. In 2009, Louisiana had 165 Grade A dairy herds and 20,000 dairy cows and produced 273 million pounds of milk. That contributed about $114 million to the state’s economy. Most of the AgCenter's dairy research is conducted at the Southeast Research Station in Franklinton.
