Just read the Arkansas story on milk price aid to the remaining 140 dairies (down from 2,000 dairies in 1985) I'm afraid it might be too little, too late. The aid might start in July, that's still four months away! All dairy farmers have already lost money for the past three month (at all time record milk price drop) and for them to hang on four more months will be a incredible effort.
Anyway, here in southern NM on the first Monday after Spring will be WINDY! Winds will gust to 40 to 50 mph today. Just what the cows need to enjoy their day. Production will suffer, but maybe that will help the "overproduction" and increase our pay prices.
