Another Month Done

Tomorrow's the last day of March, spring winds are doing their job in the Mesilla Valley in NM. Blowing 30 mph with gusts to 60 mph. Cows are miserable and milk production is down. Cows that don't eat, don't milk. Still having some cool mornings, currently it's 65 degrees at 10:45 am.

Good news? Maybe, government going to release 200 million pounds of NFMP, to help the poor, school lunches, WIC, and etc. Sounds like a lot of milk powder, but consider this. If 50 million people receive this NFMP it's only 4 pounds per person. Not sure on the amount of powder to water to make a gallon, but lets say it's 1 pound powder to make one gallon of milk, that's enough milk for maybe two weeks for a family of four.

I guess it's better than nothing for now, I guess this could fall in my "too little, too late" comments from a few days ago.
