Abstract: Dairy cattle deepens its differentiation in the rates of development according to the territorial and subject-economic criteria. Investment activity in dairy farming in many regions that have comparative advantages of milk production is decreasing due to imperfect forms of state support. The priority order of state support for large-scale «green field» projects for two, three or more thousand cows leads to a discrepancy in the volumes of support received by regions for objective factors in the development of agricultural sectors. Correspondence of the levels of specialization, size and intensity of production to specific economic conditions, implementationof innovative technologies are necessary for the realization of comparative advantages, increasing efficiency of milk production.Farms in regions with high agrobiological potential are able to produce roughage and concentrated feeds with low direct costs. The ability to use in animal ration their own grain wastes, by-products of processing crop plants further reduces the cost of production, especially the rearing of cattle for fattening. Dairy cattle in multi-product farms has positive externalities for the crop business, improving the crop rotation structure, reducing the costs of fertilizers and plant protection products. In regions of the Non-Chernozem Zone independent specialized breeding farms demonstrate high efficiency. They reach a high level of dairy productivity, actively implement innovative technologies, maximize the advantages of low alternative cost of agricultural land. Correction forms of state support for investments can increase the sustainability of dairy farming. Consideration, as key criteria for selecting supported project "increase in livestock and increase in milk production" indicators leads to the fact that the bulk of support is allocated in favor of the construction of new complexes by large agricultural holdings in regions with high rental potential. The change in the macroeconomic and market situation, the expansion of the possibilities of innovative technologies in dairy farming and fodder production raise the urgency of priority support for the stage-by-stage modernization of existing independent, medium-sized producers capable of ensuring competitiveness and sustainable development of the industry almost in all regions of Russia.
