Well said. Too many farmers are not smart enough to realize they're working themselves to death emulating a failing model. So many refusing to entertain the thought that it's their management practices and NOT the system that's failing. This seems especially true for dairy farmers. Lots of the guys in my area have painted themselves into a corner by not picking their head up out of the manure long enough to read the writing on the wall. 70 years ago their Grandparents set up an operating model that could not be sustained without cheap grain and fuel and now those operations are either out of business, slowly bleeding out, or have taken on huge debt loads to "modernize". If anyone out there believes that the dairy industry needs smaller guys, just ask anybody that was a small-time hog operator 25 years ago if the hog "industry" misses them.
