[QUOTE="som farmer, post: 8201512, member: 86168"] we have 1 young cow, that slipped, she is due exactly 2 years, from when she last calved, oct 27th, given 15,000 litres, still doing 21/day. Right, or wrong, to keep her ? We have cows that calve sub 300 days calving interval, right or wrong ? Farming is a blank canvas in many ways, it seems to evolve as we go through our farming lives, its always changing, and adapting to weather, new machinery, crops and methods, there is always something 'different' to try, or work out. We are entering into a new era of farming, with food production, competing against green moves, food production will win, climate change, is in the future, food is everyday. The green movement, hasn't considered, or couldn't care, that much of what they demand, will lead to lower production. This at a time food production is in a finely balanced supply, and threatening to slip into negative. We see that with todays record prices. So we will have to compete against the green movement, at a time when demand is increasing for more production, topped with the political desperation, to keep a lid on food prices, rather think we need both old, and new skills, to steer a way through that muddle. Its pretty obvious who will win, thankfully, despite many thinking they can, they really can't survive without us. [/QUOTE]
