suspect a lot of dairy farmers may not agree ?

spammer building up to a grand reveal ?

Spammers are only fun if they reply. Not a lot to go on at the moment.
Having a dairy and currently looking out of my office at rain and mud it’s definitely not a good idea. If the sun comes out I might change my mind.

Any Farming is a good idea if you don't depend on it for an income - but avoid the animal part

If this rain continues, gonna need a change of plan also.

Earns good money, problem is we spend nearly as much to get it.

Oh hang on, I am on paper, unfortunately not to spend!

Doubt I’d make much money as a prostitute

Running a herd.................is that the right word? Of prostitutes might be a different matter but that would make me a pimp
I suspect that job could have more hassles than dairy farming though.

OTOH, the perks might be better than free milk.

The problem is we are a group of very cynical farmers. We have seen it all before, I see that you are from the United States and the public attitude to agriculture over there is very different to here. More often than you would think farmers are portrayed extremely negatively.

The public forget that our primary aim is to put food on the table. We are seen as cruel to animals, which is obviously not the case because the margins are so tight that we need them living in the best stress free environment so that they are most productive.We are seen to be destroying the environment where the rules we have to abide by are some of the toughest on the planet. At the same time the public want food cheap which is imported here produced in a way we cannot.

We have no GM crops, no atrazine no chlorothalonil all products that are allowed in the US and will be here in products produced there

All the eco friendly warriors on the internet cite our use of soya in animal feed as the main destroyer of the planet, all their vegan and veggie burgers are made from it. I supply a milk processor that has some of the highest standards in the country and I am not allowed to feed soya to milking cows.

And @WhyDoPets you think we are all the haters........

It’s a strange opening post.
Over my adult life approx 25,000 farmers have quit milking, granted for a whole host of reasons but many who have got out will tell you that the returns aren’t worth it for the time capital and work involved and that will be a major factor in the decision of many to quit.

So when someone who presumably doesn’t milk cows comes on and makes a statement like that as an opening post I’m not surprised at the responses, had you come on and asked the question rather than made a statement the replies would probably have been different

Where's the intro forum link?

 

[Fergieman]

Just introduce yourself here now and explain the reasons for your random post.

as farmers, we are treated like shite, from the vegan brigade, to environmentalists, we are cruel to our stock, denuding the countryside of birds, bees, and wildlife, destroying the world, with belching cows, ferts and sprays, expected, here in the UK, to produce to the highest standards, and compete, with products bought, with little, or no standards. What nobody ever says, every living person, on this planet, cannot survive, without farming/farmers.

My two pence.... Vegan activist/journalist goes on farming forum, with an attempt to get farmers boasting about making loads of money, to use as ammo against them, meanwhile they and their cronies are looking in expecting a free for all.
Unfortunately doesn't go quite to plan so attempts to play the victim instead, in order to try and salvage the situation and paint those horrible farmers as bullies at least.
I could be wrong though....
