[QUOTE="Cowabunga, post: 8059413, member: 718"] Several large dairy farms in this area are in dire straights. That’s a fact. However, one large scale multi-site dairy business who rented a large farm locally and invested heavily in tracks, water systems and parlour, but open air cubicles in a very exposed site, gave up last year. Only for another similar multi-site operator to take over the lease and carry on doing the same. This one employs one man, a new Fendt with loader and a fairly medium capacity new trailer, full time carting bought silage about ten miles and to other farms about 25 miles away from the clamp. Not sure how their calculator differs so much from mine, but there you go. Calving flat out just now I imagine. Possibly finished. Every business is different and if there’s money in his madness, and I assume there must be, good luck to him. [/QUOTE]
