Just wondering what you're all noticing around the country regarding the prices of things.
Lisanne--My DH and I have been dairy farmers for the past 38 years. The year 2009 was the worst year ever for our farming operation as for all dairy farmers. We had record low prices that would equal just over a dollar per gallon for our whole sale prices. You don't want to know how much money we borrowed last year to stay in business and now have to pay the loan back. It makes one wonder why DH and DS work 14-15 hours a day, seven days a week. If your milk price is going up it hasn't been seen in our business.
Sorry if I'm on a soap box, but kind of discouraging to have such a devastating year as we start to transition our farm to the next generation.
