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.

At this age, I believed tractor farming was the only way, hot stuff -- and given a chance I probably would have used the tractor, Dad's first, a 1936 Model "A" John Deere, to go bring in the cows! And I think Dad was ready for some automation too. And so it was that we acquired a good, used J. I. Case, wire tie hay baler. In addition to a person to drive th
