Drought 2012: How it's affecting US Dairy Farmers
I'm hoping to share a more personal reflection of the Drought of 2012 on this blog in the coming weeks, but for now I have a great resource for you to check out! Please check out www.dairygood.org for their latest article featuring perspectives from some great dairy farmers across the US. The article Dairy Farmers Endure highlights a lot of the very same issues that we're facing on our own dairy farm. Rising feed costs, the risk of not having enough forages on hand, and the stress of financial issues are all hot topics on our farm. So, please take some time to read this great article!

I write this blog to share my passion for my cows and farming, please be respectful of that. I reserve the right to delete those comments which portray hate, call names, and are out right disrespectful. If you have an honest question, I will respond, to explain what we do on our farm, why we do it and how we do it. Please read with an open mind. My time to blog is short, as most of our days are spent caring for our beloved cows. Thank you!
