August 6, 2013 <br /> Page 6 of 7 <br /> Conclusion <br /> A dairy lagoon retrofit would increase the overhead and breakeven cost to the operation. This increased cost of <br /> production, because it is not revenue generating, cannot be passed on to the processor or consumer so it <br /> reduces the profitability of the dairy. Ultimately,these costs could be the final add-on that may put a dairy <br /> operation out of business. Further, a large percentage of dairy operations would not be eligible for financing to <br /> complete a retrofit due to the lack of repayment capacity and because the operation is already likely over <br /> leveraged with existing debt. <br />
