Are us "Normal Farmers" getting left behind??

[Bossfarmer]

and you've talked about becoming a dairy farmer.
most farmers are not doing 9000l
i have no idea what my gross margins are as it has no relation to PROFIT.
in reality there are 3 types of dairying.
1 lower yielding block calvers. high profit per litre but less litres ( mostly 3000,to 7000 litres cows. but they sell solids not litres)
2 high yielding cows 9000-12000 litres low profit per litre but lots of litres.
3 AYR calving family farms 7000-9000 litres low profit per litres and not that many litres.

our percentage of income derived from subs is around 3% on this yrs milk price.

surely you need to compare gross margin when comparing enterprises, most the guys i know are AYR thats why i said over 9000, mabye we should keep scrap subs on dairy farms if you are suggesting they dont need them??

Just to clarify for the "Bossfarmer" is that 3% of gross income before all costs ?
