    How much money is there in dairy farming?

    How much money is there in dairy farming?

    Really? So costs eat into profit the more you go up in size? 70 is a good sweetspot for lower cost and maintained profit?

    How much money is there in dairy farming?

    I'm not looking for "nothing", "no money whatsoever" or what have you. If that was truly the case, no one would milk at all. Particularly interested in all aspects of farming and wondered if anyone could explain the profit margins and expected income on approx 70 milking cows. YES, i know...

    No no, not saying farmers aren’t intelligent at all- I am one. Just highlighting that farming is not as clear cut as it once was. God, on courses to give antibiotics nowadays- not just jabbing as we once would.

Just emphasising the point that a progressive view on farming teamed with my fathers old, experienced point of view is the way forward. Older farmers, such as my father, really can be stuck in their ways🤣 Highlighting why I’m reading...

    Organic farming

    This is funny🤣 I got to “organic crap” and ignored the rest of that paragraph… I take what you’re saying that there may not be a difference if you tasted one after the other but there is a difference in the price we receive. Undoubtedly, with the pressures from the government we are being...

    Small farmers - 100ish acres
