The objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of price fluctuation and facility investment on income for dairy farms in the northern region of Hokkaido, by means of a case analysis (2001-2016). First, in the dairy farms that have invested in facilities, the income tends to decrease due to deterioration of price conditions. Second, the dairy farms that restrained facility investment tended to obtain stable disposable income.
