I design manure lagoon and manure storage systems for any size dairy that wants one here in Michigan. The big guys are struggling also. Actually the one customer I have that is doing the best only milks 140 head and it�s him and his two sons. Last year they contracted all the milk they could at 21.50/cwt. He�s the only one I have that�s making money. The rest are canceling projects and expansions like crazy. Last year I had 17 expansions and lagoons, this year so far only that one smaller guy. He�s getting a 500,000-gallon lagoon and a new parlor. My biggest project that was supposed to go this year was going to be a complete new dairy with 3 barns 288 wide and 912 feet long, Nearly 50 million gallons of on site manure and waste water storage, a 70 cow rotary parlor, a feed bunker that was 400 wide and 600 long. Yeah, it�s cancelled and the guy is talking about filing bankruptcy for his existing 4100 head operation. They are telling me as long as they can make it to October the price is above the break even point but October is a long way off and if you can�t pay your suppliers between now and then your quarterly payments where are you going to get feed for next year? Not like you can pick your operation up and move it, and when you stiff one person on payment word travels fast.
