My two neighbors milking 140 head of cattle with at least two employees at all time, brand new trucks, snowmobiles (with two trips to the mountains a year) and new trailer for them is not great management. The quota system is changing and I don't think it's for the worst.
Two trips to the mountains in the winter? Is that more extravagant than a Corn-beans-Florida rotation? Maybe tough times for a grain farmer is a corn-beans -mexico rotation? I know a grain farmer that doesn’t grow wheat because it ruins his summer. I know another that snowmobiles thousands of miles every year
I know that cows eat grain and I didn’t need to take Agribusiness at U of M to figure that out. Maybe ask yourself if your neighbors aren’t growing hay to feed cows what that land will be growing and how that affects local basis.
For the record, I meant management of the supply by the milk marketing board, not management of individual farms.
And don't focus on Neighbours success make your own. Jealousy will make you bitter.
