I'm in central Maryland. We get the "Southern Edition" of Lancaster Farmer. In the 60s and 70s there were lots of dairy farms in this area. Not many left now and several went out the last 2 years. From 1000 head down to 100 head all the same. I can't blame them one bit. Im a business owner myself and I cannot imagine putting the time, effort, and capital I see these dairy guys putting in and not being able to get a good profit to show for it. 21 seemed higher than I noticed in the past so I guess I was hoping they were getting some relief from that. Ive read some about the consolidation going on in the industry.
We have one friend here however that stuck his neck out and put in his own processing equipment. I was skeptical at first because there are a few other small, local processors trying the same thing and how many does one area need? The virus shutdowns and shortages along with a few other timely events and good business sense turned out to be a blessing for him though and he's thriving now. He said if he wouldn't have been neck deep in the middle of getting that plant set up he probably would've sold out this year too.
