In Reply to: Falling Milk Prices but increase in consumption posted by IHDairy on February 28, 2009 at 18:40:30:

You guys are all missing the point. The fact of the matter is there is the equivalent of 300,000 too many cows producing milk in the US right now. This is cause dairy farmers are all the same. During the higher prices we all find a way to hang on to a few more cows and make a bit more milk. This is not a Big farm vs. little farm thing. The one poster here thinks that he needs the government to give him an unfair advantage in producing and selling his milk just cause he is under a certain number of cows. The best way to decrease the domestic milk supply is simple. Lower the legal limit for SCC. Right now it is 750,000. Bring it under 400,000. This will either make some farmers leave the industry cause they can't make good clean milk or it will cause the farmers to pull a few more cows from the milking string and treat their mastitis. It will also bolster the consumer confidence in our product and the shelf life of dairy products will be improved. Also would like everyone to know that there already is government regulation on some of the larger farms. Ever hear of CAFO compliance. These are strict regulations of manure storage and spreading. Requiring records of each load of manure spread on the fields. Small farms are not included in these rules. So there already is some regualtion of large dairies that does not yet apply to the smaller ones.

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o ... [Read Article]
