All things Dairy

After missing most of the rain lately today saw our part of the miracle vale get rain much relief last yr still looms large in the mind. .its Turning into a bloody good yr. accountant yesterday reckoned the drought cost us 2 p last yr and I think there will be about the same extra cost again this season. Early season PK and extra contracting costs to replace what’s missing.
That doesn’t even include the opportunity cost of wholecropping our wheat.
