[QUOTE="easy farming, post: 7251703, member: 68534"] We used to be mud and misery in the beginning and so dried off when we do. But it is a family farm and we discuss it whenever we review the business. Our focus is return on capital and free cash flow. We do a lot of calculation on marginal litres, so while I accept your point about lost income if we spent the extra capital on buildings to milk longer, we calculated the extra cost and effort, not just milking but bedding and feeding, extra silage needed etc was not sufficiently covered by the extra income obtained, or rather if we put that capital into off farm investments we had a better return on the money without the daily grind. Which is what we do. [/QUOTE]
