No, dairy is completely dead, except for the mega dairy farms. Drive through northern Iowa, Wisconsin, and southern Minnesota and count the thousands of extinct family dairy farms. It's shocking.Dairy?

The emissions controls are a burden as well. Even the compact tractors get emission controls on them.The market is already reflecting this. Used machinery that doesn't have the locked computers has gone way up in value, because farmers are choosing to use the older machines over purchasing locked-in new. Many used tractors are now selling for more than they were new.

If you think its bad now.....No, dairy is completely dead, except for the mega dairy farms. Drive through northern Iowa, Wisconsin, and southern Minnesota and count the thousands of extinct family dairy farms. It's shocking.
I don't know how it could get any worse, there are virtually no family dairy farms left.If you think its bad now.....
We have family dairy [ they are big to me] still here I really enjoy the the dairies and ag. I can't imagine running one. Driving by by their equipment yard ,the value of the machinery parked in them is beyond comprehension. Last summer my neighbor wanted me to look at some hay balers ,there are half million dollar baler set ups .No, dairy is completely dead, except for the mega dairy farms.

Corporate control of our food source can't be good.I don't know how it could get any worse, there are virtually no family dairy farms left.
It will. It is written.I don't know how it could get any worse, there are virtually no family dairy farms left.
That and methods change. We have rice, cotton, feed/fuel corn, other grains, carpet grass etc … “laser guided farming“ in the fields, auto pilot, AC & XM radio …The equipment is so expensive , ,,
