[QUOTE="som farmer, post: 7942078, member: 86168"] very well put, and perfectly correct. One certainly cannot knock him for giving it his all, and l really hope he succeeds, we need keen lads like him. But, he seems to have quite a large amount of 'financial backing' somewhere behind him, that we never had, l cringe at some of his reasoning, certainly l couldn't have done as much as he has, once we started, cheap cows were the target, and our processor, didn't worry about cc, till the tank was over 1000cc, we never got anywhere near that, but milked a lot of 3/4 cows - they were cheaper. Buying y/s, never featured, and l have mentioned 'cash flow' and the implications of y/s eating into precious income. But you have to be flexible, but must always have a plan, of where you want to go, what system suits both you, and your farm, and that is what seems to be lacking, a case of jumping from one mishap, straight into another. you are also spot on about experience, and while he makes mistakes, he openly admits them, which is great, hopefully he listens to some of that advice. I also stress, that l hope he succeeds, we need lads like him in our industry, seriously need them. [/QUOTE]
