There isn't a lot of good in a market if you have to sell at a loss and dairy margins are tight even with higher classes of milk<br /><br />Joated, both huge issues! Fracking brings a lot of good to rural economies And taxes are deadly! They were a very large factor in putting us out of business.<br /><br />Merry, they are. I really hope this turns out well for them. Thanks for holding good thoughts<br /><br />Linda, thanks<br /><br />Cathy, thanks, that is my aunt and uncle's barn....they sold the farm last fall....lots of memories there for sure<br /><br /><br />Uta, thanks. I am always nervous about the organic market. One month they are doing all they can to bring in more milk and the next they are shutting farmers down without warning. It is really expensive to go organic and to maintain the standards. If you have to then sell your milk into the conventional market it really hurts because you are paying the higher input costs and getting a lower pay price.
