When Do You Quit?
Here is a pretty interesting article on what is happening in the dairy industry today. I don't necessarily agree with every bit of it, but it does point out some darned hard stuff.
I can't imagine how hard it is to be in your line of work but I do know that someone who commits to something and tries their best is never a failure. Farmers across this country should be thanked for their efforts. Too bad our government doesn't seem to know that.
Scmomma, thank you for your kind words. It is becoming terribly depressing reading farm magazines full of articles on how to end your business!
Jan, thanks for the link...I may use that in my column tomorrow. I have seen some of the same info here and there, but that is all together in one place so to speak.
