Tuesday morning started cloudy and breezy with current temp of 60 degrees. Just checked to see if milk check posted to the checking account, no deposit made by DFA. I guess it will post tonight for tomorrow's work.
This milk income problem grows slowly every day, payments getting behind 30, 60, and some 90 days now. Most of all our suppliers are being very understanding, and are working with us for payments due them. Paying extra interest charges to some, and making minimum payments plus interest to others.
Very hard to pay 100% of the bills with 60% of the milk money needed to break even over the past four months. Eighteen more days for the CWT bid period, closes on May 1st, 2009. It looks like it will be a bloodbath for at least 200,000 cows and maybe 400 dairymen and dairywomen. It's really a shame for just 3% overproduction of total milk needed for the U.S. consumers.
