i) Production per cow<br />
Average milksolids per cow in <strong>2010</strong>/<strong>11</strong> reached 334 kg, the highest on record (Graph 2.2). Average milk production per hectare was 923 kg<br />
– higher than the previous season and similar to the level reached in 2008/09. Variations from season to season are masked by the<br />
considerable effect of the weather on each season’s actual production. For example, unfavourable weather conditions in 1998/99 caused<br />
production per cow to fall to its lowest level since 1992/93. Likewise, widespread drought in 2007/08 caused milk production to decline.<br />
