I mean there is a lot of "rotting" in the wood pile. We must clean up the "stink"! We dairy farmers must take action into our own hands. Many that represent us do not have us in their best interest at all!

Who is paying most of these "...Several points,<br />Who is paying most of these "experts"? When the experts say that the price of milk at the farm gate will continue to be below break even for another 11 months, you have to wonder don't you.<br />A third party audit is a good idea and when it is decided that we have been being cheated for the last nine months, what then? probably a fine paid to the government and no money to the farmer.<br />I was talking to a fellow dairyman the other day and he had a great idea. I know I know hindsight is 20 20 but hear this. when the price of milk was good we all should have put enough money back to pay all our bills for one month. When the price dropped we could have had a one month milk strike and not have been very far behind at the end of it all. Not that it would take a month to begin with. <br />Beanmeal price went up because the farmers in argentina thought about a strike, 2000 miles away some farmers thought about a strike and the price of beanmeal in the U.S. went up.<br />Imagine the possibilities!<br />Robert LiebAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
