| These two old ladies.... |
Been researching for this week's Farm Side and the numbers are even uglier than I imagined.
Dairy farm losses:
Ohio
Wisconsin
Michigan
It's estimated that nearly a third of America's dairy farms have left the industry in the past decade.
According to this article 93% have left the business since I graduated from high school in 1970.
Some suggest a supply management system may help. Others aren't too trusting of those who might be in charge of the managing.
All I know is that these are hard times for the majority of dairy farmers, with distressing impacts on rural communities everywhere.
